Last Opponents
Macy Chiasson walks into Madison Square Garden after three straight unanimous decision losses. Across from her is unbeaten Bia Mesquita, who has submitted each of her last three opponents. That is a wild pairing for UFC 334: one fighter needs to break a skid, while the other is trying to keep her run going against a longer, more experienced opponent. Chiasson has been here long enough to show more than one way to win. She submitted Pannie Kianzad, and her fight with Mayra Bueno Silva ended in a doctor stoppage after a cut, but her recent decisions against Ketlen Vieira, Yana Santos and Ailin Perez all went the other way.
- Chiasson brings three straight decision losses into Madison Square Garden.
- Mesquita has submitted every opponent in her recent fight history.
- Chiasson's reach gives Mesquita a real problem before the clinch.
This could break open at the first sustained clinch, when both women have to prove whose range and control hold up.
Mesquita has taken a different route lately: a choke against Irina Alekseeva, another against Montse Rendon, then an armbar from guard against Melissa Mullins. Those results explain why every exchange near the mat will get attention. The reach difference jumps out immediately, and Chiasson has the striking and takedown threat to make Mesquita work for her openings. She needs space to get her shots off and must be careful about giving Mesquita a grip when they come together. Mesquita, meanwhile, has to close that distance without eating clean strikes, then show whether she can hold position against someone much taller.
Neither woman can assume the other wants only one kind of fight. The question is whether Chiasson can turn those recent full distance losses into a sharper performance, or whether Mesquita can carry her submission pressure onto this bigger stage. Madison Square Garden will hear every scramble.
