Takes decision in Vegas opener
StrawweightUFC
June 15, 2024
Knutsson defeated Julia Polastri via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Making her second UFC appearance, Knutsson started and ended this fight strong. In between, she allowed the debuting Polastri to gain some momentum in Round 2. Ultimately, however, a 145-86 edge in total strikes landed was enough to earn Knutsson the decision. Josefine is a very technical striker, but she has very little power in her hands, and her grappling is a question mark. She allowed Polastri to land all three of her takedown attempts this evening. The Swede will have to display improvement in other areas if she hopes to continue her winning ways at the highest level.

Knutsson defeated Marnic Mann via unanimous decision (30-24, 30-25, 30-27) at Noche UFC on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Knutsson earned her UFC opportunity with an unanimous decision win over Isis Verbeek on Dana White's Contender Series just a few weeks ago. She made her official company debut here against Mann as a -750 favorite and dominated from start to finish. Knutsson closed with a 147-39 edge in total strikes landed. She also connected on 3-of-4 takedown attempts for 10:49 worth of control time. The Swede couldn't have looked any better. It will be interesting to see how she performs against a bit better opponent her next time out.
