Overview
- Inoue defeated Amorim by unanimous decision with scorecards of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 in Abu Dhabi to open UFC 321.
- After early submission scares, Inoue reversed positions and landed damaging ground strikes to close the first round.
- Sustained top control and clean striking in later stretches swung momentum her way as Amorim’s grappling attacks lost effectiveness.
- A third-round sequence of knees and uppercuts hurt Amorim, and a clash of heads left Inoue cut but did not change the outcome.
- The result halts the former LFA champion’s planned step toward ranked strawweights after a four-fight finishing streak since her 2023 debut loss.
