Pulls biggest upset of 2024
Fernandes defeated Cong Wang via technical submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
It took until late November, but we officially have our biggest upset of the year from a betting perspective. Fernandes entered as a +750 underdog. She didn't show much in Round 1, as Wang easily dominated, but Gabriella looked better in Round 2 when the fight broke down into a total brawl. She somehow manage to land a knockdown and that allowed her to work her way to the back of her opponent and the rear-naked choke. The Brazilian has now won two straight after dropping her first two UFC bouts.

Bout scheduled for November
Fernandes will fight Cong Wang at UFC Macau on Nov. 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After going 0-2 in her first UFC fights, Fernandes picked up a win in June against Carli Judice. She'll likely be tested in November after Cong Wang delivered a first-round knockout as part of her UFC debut.

Finally earns first UFC win
Fernandes defeated Carli Judice via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A loser in each of her first two UFC bouts, Fernandes was probably looking at a release if she came up short here. Her main issue in those bouts was poor takedown defense. She did allow Judice to land 2-of-4 attempts Saturday, but to Fernandes' credit, she worked much harder to get back to her feet, and it paid off. Gabriella won this fight because she landed the more impactful blows for the duration of the bout. That better be the case when you find yourself on the short end of a 186-126 edge in terms of total strikes landed. The Brazilian's roster spot should be safe with the victory, but she needs to put forth another strong effort her next time out. She'll also take home an extra $50,000 after this back-and-forth affair was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Gets new opponent
Fernandes will take on Carli Judice at a UFC event on June 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Fernandes' poor takedown defense has been a major issue during her first two fights in the UFC, both of which were losses. Most recently, she suffered a defeat to Tereza Bleda via unanimous decision. The 30-year-old will look to turn things around when she squares off against Judice, who holds a 3-1 professional record, and will be making her debut with the company.
