In the opening bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Brazil’s Caliari (8-2) submitted Canada’s LaFramboise (8-5) with an armbar at 4:45 of Round 1. Referee Kerry Hatley deemed the submission verbal, according to the broadcast.

Caliari, 27, maintained her 100 percent finishing rate in wins. Her only two career losses have come against UFC alums Kay Hansen and Syuri Kondo.
LaFramboise, 35, has a three-fight winning streak snapped. She was scheduled to compete on DWCS in 2023 but was pulled from the fight when she discovered she was pregnant.
