Overview
- Shanelle Dyer defeated Elise Reed by TKO at 1:42 of round three at UFC Sacramento on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026.
- Dyer controlled the fight with heavy kicks and combinations that progressively broke down Reed’s lead leg and head, forcing a standing stoppage.
- Reed entered the third round with visible cuts and bleeding, and her corner reportedly debated stopping the fight between rounds before the referee ended it.
- The finish included a sustained flurry — reported in some accounts as a 25‑punch combination — and moves Dyer to 2-0 in the UFC and 8-1 overall.
- Dyer used the post-fight interview to push a knockout-first message about women’s title fights, and media coverage says matchmakers will likely test her takedown defense as she rises in the division.
