FIGHT ISLAND — Video footage from a UFC women's flyweight match shows the devastating, fight-ending effect a huge shot to the body can have.

It all went down during the co-main event between Jessica Andrade and Katlyn Chookagian. They fought behind closed doors Saturday at the Flash Forum on Fight Island, a quarantined area of the United Arab Emirates that the Abu Dhabi culture and tourism board purpose-built in conjunction with the UFC.

Andrade made history by becoming the first woman in the UFC to win in three separate weight classes when she defeated Chookagian in the opening round of their 125-pound bout.

Chookagian had advantages of height and reach, but Andrade ensured that mattered little by closing the distance between the fighters, engaging in clinches against the fence, and dragging her opponent to the ground.

Andrade varied her strikes. She landed shots on Chookagian's head and body in equal measure, setting up a buzzer-beating finish.

The ending arrived when Andrade landed a body punch that made Chookagian retreat and turn her back on the fight and her opponent.

After a moment of confusion as it was not clear whether the fight was over, Andrade ran at Chookagian and sought the stoppage.

"I hit her with a punch on her stomach and she yelled out and turned around, and for a second I thought that the fight could have been over," Andrade said after the win.

"But she turned around, so I said it's not over, and I went in again and kept hitting her and then the referee stopped it.

"It was really fun, I had a really good fight week."

With the win, Andrade advanced her pro MMA record to 21 wins (eight knockouts, seven submissions, and six decisions) against eight losses.
