Shanelle Dyer VS Elise Reed

Shanelle Dyer stopped Elise Reed by TKO (punches) at 1:42 of round three in a women's strawweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues in Sacramento on August 22, 2026. Dyer controlled the pace and output throughout before landing in bunches in the third round to force the referee stoppage, never relinquishing momentum across the fight. The victory gave Dyer back-to-back TKO/KO finishes since joining the UFC, cementing her reputation as a dangerous striker at 115 pounds. Dyer entered as a heavy pre-fight favorite and delivered against the more experienced Reed, who came in at 8-5.

Shanelle Dyer, who made an immediate statement with a bonus-winning TKO in her London UFC debut, brings a 7-1 record with five knockouts into Sacramento against Elise Reed, a veteran strawweight whose recent win over a former Cage Fury champion shows she can still pull off a significant result. Dyer's trajectory and finishing power make her the clear momentum pick, but Reed's UFC experience gives her the tools to disrupt an opponent who has yet to be seriously tested at this level.
