Drops second career fight
Wolf lost to Norma Dumont via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 26-30) at UFC 279 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A former professional boxer, Wolf is attempting to transition to the world of mixed martial arts. This was just her second career fight, with her first -- a unanimous decision win over Taneisha Tennant -- coming on Dana White's Contender Series about a year ago. Wolf remained fairly competitive when the two women were standing and trading at distance, but the moment Dumont pushed forward and implemented her grappling game, this fight was over. Wolf turned 39 years of age a few days before this event took place. So, not only is she attempting to learn a new craft, she's doing so well past her athletic prime. It's a nice story, but the odds are against Wolf lasting more than a couple fights with the company.

Former pro boxer gets contract
Wolf defeated Taneisha Tennant via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, she was one of three fighters to receive an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Wolf is incredibly green in terms of MMA experience, but she's a decorated boxer with a 29-14 pro record that was once an Olympic hopeful. While she made a solid effort at a guillotine choke in the later stages of the fight, Wolf still has plenty of work to do when it comes to wrestling and jiu-jitsu exchanges. This type of fighter would typically be best suited for a developmental deal, but at 37 years old, Wolf is far from prospect status. She'll ultimately get the contract due to featherweight being one of the shallowest UFC divisions, and will have to lean on her stand-up heavily if she intends to string together wins.
