Alexia Thainara breaks down that crazy faceoff ahead of her UFC contract win at DWCS 73

LAS VEGAS – Now that Alexia Thainara’s next fight will be in the UFC, she might have some high expectations for her first faceoff.

Thainara (11-1) dominated Rose Conceicao (7-1) Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series 73 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She earned a UFC contract with the win. But she made a buzz Monday at the weigh-ins because of her intense staredown with Conceicao. Then she backed it up in the cage.

Thainara spoke to the media following her win over Conceicao, which came courtesy of a trio of 30-27 scores for a scorecard sweep. Check out her full post-fight interview in the video above.
