Biggest MMA upset since Holm vs Rousey
Images
Going into UFC Vegas 7, Shana Dobson, MMA record of 3-4, was scheduled to fight 9-1 Mariya Agapova; this was a fight that Mariya requested. Mariya was a big prospect, so many expected her to win. Thus, Shana became a +800 underdog.
When the fight started, Agapova was winning the round but didn't dominate like in her previous three contests, which didn't get past the first round. Instead, she started to tire out. Then, in the second round, Dobson took over and won by TKO.
