The UFC Fight Night 182 main-card opener between Cory McKenna and Kay Hansen wasn’t just a battle of intriguing strawweight prospects. It was also the youngest combined fight in UFC women’s history, with both fighters entering the octagon Saturday at age 21. Both fighters, as it turned out, lived up to the hype, as McKenna (6-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Hansen (7-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) put on a solid, back-and-forth scrap. McKenna earned a unanimous nod at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, getting 29-28 scores across the board. The first two rounds featured fast-paced action, but McKenna was simply a step quicker in the standup and both threw and landed with heavier volume, particularly in the opening round, which was McKenna’s most clear-cut round of the fight.
