00:49She is a submission specialist, making her pro debut. She stands 1.66 meters tall, weighing in at 56 kilograms, fighting out of Northcliffe, Johannesburg, Donella Eliza.
01:06And now introducing her opponent. She's Fighting Out of the Blue Corner. She is a mixed martial artist with a professional record of three wins and one loss.
01:19She stands 1.72 meters tall, weighing in at 55 kilograms, fighting out of Budapest, Hungary, Zeta Tiki Varyu.
01:31And when the action begins, our referee in charge is Brad Bloch.
01:39The lovely Hexagon Girls, proudly brought to you by Rex, Diff and Gearbox, driven by perfection.
01:44Naomi and Michelle here tonight.
01:56Are you ready? Are you ready? What's he got?
01:59The start of this historic bout is presented by Pitbull, the world's only FTA-approved energy drink.
02:04And Eliasov in the black.
02:06Varyu's landing some shots.
02:07And Varyu in pink immediately being aggressive.
02:09Slating some big shots.
02:11Tries to close the gap now.
02:12Eliasov drags down Varyu.
02:14In the guard. This is where Eliasov will be very comfortable off of her back.
02:18The pace of this fight already incredible.
02:20Landed some big shots to Zeta Varyu.
02:23Eyes are fixed on the EFC Hexagon.
02:25Tries to get back to their feet now.
02:27Eliasov is in that top position.
02:29Varyu gets full guard though.
02:31She's got a hold of the neck.
02:33Eliasov will probably just be able to pop out.
02:36She's got it on.
02:37But now she's posturing up.
02:39Now she manages to get up and lands one shot of her.
02:43Varyu is coming at it.
02:47Wow.
02:49That was a frantic start to the bump.
02:52Isolating that right arm of Eliasov.
02:55She might be sitting up for that ombar.
02:56Some proper aggression shown by the Hungarian.
02:59It's Eliasov now looking to make her move.
03:06See the arm control from Eliasov.
03:09Top position.
03:11Varyu does have two submissions to her name.
03:15Not a lot of time for the nerves to settle for either.
03:19It's probably the best way for a fight to start it.
03:21Straight into the fray.
03:27Eliasov in the top position.
03:28Full guard.
03:31Varyu with the wrist control.
03:33She's tracking from the bottom.
03:35But of course we know that top position is what the judges will look at.
03:38It's going to look to sweep now.
03:40Zita Vargi.
03:42Let's go for the fight that she had in.
03:44She's still trying to isolate those arms.
03:48Donela not being able to pass as yet.
03:58With a high level jiu-jitsu game.
04:00You would have think that that would have been possible for her by now.
04:03But now she looks to pass.
04:05She's in the half guard.
04:06Trying to drop the elbows on Vargi.
04:10She said she would like to become a trainer when she's done with her MMA career.
04:15Good spot for Eliasov to be here.
04:20Now she's going to land some shots from here.
04:22See the control from Vargi.
04:24Traps the arm now of Vargi as Eliasov.
04:27Two minutes 20 odd seconds remaining in this first round.
04:35It's not a good spot for Vargi.
04:40Gets half guard back.
04:42And now she gets full guard back.
04:44That is very well done from Zita Vargi.
04:51Eliasov still in the top position though.
04:53It's incredible to think that Vargi wants for two pro fights in one night.
05:04In modern day MMA you won't really see that happening.
05:09Well the Hungarian fighting championship still very new.
05:12Only a year old.
05:14He's going to try and push her up against the fence now as Daniela.
05:17That's where she can really work around.
05:18The touch is letting some good shots.
05:20Postures up and then goes straight back down again.
05:22Working away as Eliasov.
05:28So altitude for Vargi.
05:31The finish line has worked for about a week or so.
05:35I suppose various theories on that altitude and how long it takes to adjust.
05:43Vargi is certainly trying to set up.
05:44She's got a hold of Eliasov's arms.
05:47She does have a very good on-ball.
05:51She's got an on-ball submission victory.
05:53Just over a minute remains here in this first round of this historic first ever.
05:57Women's Highly Bout.
05:59And the use of the elbows by Daniela.
06:03Oh, she's striking from the bottom now tries to spin around.
06:05And Eliasov is in a good spot now landing some big shots.
06:13Working away as Eliasov crowd getting behind her.
06:15Daniela in control, she's going to put belly on the hip, slide over to the full mount.
06:21If she does so, she might look to finish it.
06:23Eliasov's laying down elbows.
06:24Defends herself over.
06:25Trying to get through the defences.
06:26Vargi has to intelligently protect herself.
06:28Brandblock is having a very close look.
06:29He might step in here.
06:30He's telling her to do something.
06:31Daniela's going to set up for the arms.
06:32He's going to look for the armbar.
06:33Eliasov now looks for the armbar.
06:3416 seconds remain.
06:35Can't buy you.
06:36Hold on.
06:37Got two options of attack.
06:38There's no room.
06:39Daniela can't go back to actually get the armbar, but she's landing the hammer fist one after
06:43the other.
06:44Brandblock having a good attack.
06:45He's going to get through the defenses.
06:46He's going to get through the defenses.
06:47He's going to get through the defenses.
06:48Barju has to intelligently protect herself.
06:49Brandblock is having a very close look.
06:50He might step in here.
06:51He's telling her to do something.
06:52There's no room.
06:53Daniela can't go back to actually get the armbar, but she's landing the hammer fist one
06:56after the other.
06:57Brandblock having a close look.
06:58Oh, he stopped it.
06:59He stopped the fight.
07:00Daniela Eliasov with the first ever woman's flyweight bout in EFC history.
07:07Too good for her opponent from Hungary.
07:10Big shots landed by Daniela.
07:13With literally a second to go, Brandblock stepped in.
07:17A debut victory for the psychiatrist from Johannesburg.
07:26Exhausted, Daniela.
07:28Overcome with emotion, but she is very, very happy.
07:35Dominant display, Dirk.
07:41Big moment for Daniela.
07:43G&C, the official sports nutrition partner of EFC, presents this action replay.
07:52This is towards the end.
07:54She had the full mount.
07:55She went for the armbar.
07:56She couldn't go back.
07:57But Zita Barju was trapped.
07:59She landed hammer fist.
08:00Punch after punch after punch with literally a second to go.
08:04Brandblock steps in.
08:05Great stoppage from the referee.
08:07Nowhere to go for Barju.
08:12Deserving victory.
08:14For an ISO.
08:16Ladies and gentlemen, referee Brad Block has called a stop to this contest.

08:34I'm here with your winner, Daniela Eliza.
08:35You must be a very, very happy young lady right now.
08:44Yes.
08:45You came into this fight predominantly with a jiu-jitsu background.
08:46But tonight, you really had to put your stand-up game on display as well.
08:55Yeah.
08:56Sure, Zita is really, really strong.
08:57Even on the ground.
08:58She was very agile.
08:59And thank you for a great fight.
09:00Well, how do you feel right now?
09:01I mean, you've been a massive campaigner for women's MMA.
09:02You've been hounding EFC matchmaker Graeme Cartmel as well as President Kyra Howard for you
09:07to finally stand inside this hexagon and getting your hand raised in the victory.
09:10Yeah, I remember EFC won at the after party telling Graeme I want to fight for him and he laughed at me.
09:29So, sure, a lot of nagging has gone into this.
09:34Well, we look forward to seeing you again. Congratulations on your victory.

12:07Good use of the outside leg.
12:09I've seen a lot of that from a lot of fighters of late.
12:13It's such a big weapon to use to slow down your opponent.
12:18Working the legs.

13:01Shana Power with her first professional win and first win in the EFC Hexagon.
13:06Nasty, nasty, nasty.
13:08That spinning back fist.
13:09We have seen so many guys try and land that.
13:12I guess probably the first time I've seen it land that clean.
13:16And after that, just the combination, quick hands on the money, on the mark.
13:21Great stoppage by the referee.
13:23But my goodness, that was something.
13:25Incredible.
13:26Wow.
