VIDEO: Another Disqualification Stops Fight at UFC Due to Illegal Kick
The fight between Randa Markos and Luana Pinheiro was supposed to be one of the best preliminary fights of the UFC event. However, it was far from that, and UFC fans will remember it for all the wrong reasons.
Markos kicked Pinheiro in the face, but as Pinheiro was on her knees at that moment, the referee disqualified ‘Quiet Storm’ Markos. After she got hit, Pinheiro stayed motionless on the ground for a few seconds. When the medical team came to examine her, she was seen asking her coach if she had lost the fight.

Before the fight ended, the two fighters were involved in a tussle on the ground. Markos, who was trying to push Pinheiro away, ended up landing a nasty kick to her face. After the fight, UFC fans saw Pinheiro being carried to the back, which could mean that she has a serious injury.

This victory was Pinheiro’s first in the UFC, however, the fighter must not have thought of winning the fight this way. On the flip side, Randa Markos made unwanted history as she became the first female fighter to suffer 10 defeats in the UFC.
What happened in the UFC fight between Randa Markos and Luana Pinheiro?
The brief fight had another referee stoppage before this, as referee Mark Smith had earlier warned Pinheiro for a poke in the eye. Markos has lost her last 4 fights, and this could have been the one where she got back to winning ways. Alas, that couldn’t happen and instead, she got her 10th UFC career loss.
