LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Polyana Viana[/autotag] once again showed her early fight power when she completely obliterated [autotag]Jinh Yu Frey[/autotag] at UFC Fight Night 214.

In the very early stages of her strawweight bout with Fey on Saturday at the UFC Apex, Viana (13-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) uncorked a knee and then a series of punches that put the lights out on her opponent, bringing an end to the fight in a mere 47 seconds.

Jinh Yu Frey vs. Istela Nunes targeted for UFC Fight Night on July 31

A strawweight matchup between Jinh Yu Frey and Istela Nunes is in the works for UFC Fight Night on July 31.

A strawweight matchup is in the works for UFC Fight Night on July 31.

[autotag]Jinh Yu Frey[/autotag] (10-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) will take on [autotag]Istela Nunes[/autotag] in an event which doesn’t currently have an announced location or venue.

Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

After going 0-2 to start out her UFC tenure, Frey picked up her first octagon win when she defeated Dana White’s Contender Series alum Gloria de Paula at UFC Fight Night 187 in March.

Nunes, a former ONE Championship title challenger, will make her long-awaited UFC debut. The 28-year-old Brazilian was set to make her promotional debut against Angela Hill in September 2019, but was pulled after testing positive for multiple stanozolol metabolites, 16β-hydroxystanozolol and 3′-hydroxystanozolol, following an out-of-competition urine test on July 22, 2019. As a result she was suspended for two years and will be eligible to compete in July 22, 2021.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for July 31 includes:

  • Bryan Barberena vs. Jason Witt
  • Jinh Yu Frey vs. Istela Nunes

UFC Fight Night 187 medical suspensions: Belal Muhammad faces 30 days after eye poke

Belal Muhammad isn’t facing a long time off after suffering a nasty eye poke against Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night 187.

[mm-video type=video id=01f0rk9xdw5jzbn5hn playlist_id=01eqvpne7c1q486dvv player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f0rk9xdw5jzbn5hn/01f0rk9xdw5jzbn5hn-0004b90e420f9325ab0f18363a480e2c.jpg]

Thankfully, [autotag]Belal Muhammad[/autotag] isn’t facing a potentially long medical suspension coming out of UFC Fight Night 187.

Muhammad’s first headliner vs. Leon Edwards was ruled a no contest after Edwards accidentally poked him in the eye 18 seconds into the second round of their welterweight fight. Visibly in pain, Muhammad was unable to continue and, as a result, the fight was stopped without a winner.

Muhammad (18-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) was able to provide a positive update shortly after, stating that he suffered no permanent damage to his eye and was slowly starting to get his vision back. The medical report supports his claim as Muhammad will be prohibited from any contact for 21 days with no contest for 30 days, until he receives doctor clearance for his right eye.

MMA Junkie on Tuesday obtained the full list of suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com, the Association of Boxing Commissions’ official record keeper.
