Drops decision in Vegas
Rendon lost to Darya Zheleznyakova via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Every single week it's becoming more and more clear that judges simply aren't valuing takedowns and ground control time anymore unless you're doing significant damage on the mat. Rendon had no luck on the feet against the debuting Zheleznyakova, but she did connect on 3-of-6 takedowns for 5:24 worth of control time. None of the three judges felt that was enough to win. Rendon just turned 35 years of age, and this was just her seventh professional bout. She won the first six, but all came via decision and all came against extremely low-level competition. Rendon is nothing more than roster depth.

Takes split decision in UFC debut
Rendon defeated Tamires Vidal via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight was close, but all things considered, Rendon looked pretty good for a 34-year-old who entered with all of four professional bouts under her belt. It took Rendon the better part of a round to find her range, but once she did, she was able to close the distance between her and Vidal and drag her opponent to the mat three times over the course of the final ten minutes. The control time was enough to earn her the win in the eyes of two of the three judges. Rendon's upside would appear to be quite low despite her victory here.

UFC debut scheduled
Rendon will make her UFC debut against Tamires Vidal in a bantamweight matchup at UFC Vegas 79 on Sep. 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Rendon enters the UFC with a spotless 5-0 record on the regional circuits, most recently competing under the banner of Invicta, along with a few appearances for Combate Global. All five of those victories have came via decision, though she has competed in a few grappling matches as well. She'll make her official debut against Vidal, a fighter who impressed with POTN-winning, first-round knockout in her UFC debut last November but has been sidelined since with an unspecified issue.
