The 23-year-old Mexican took over again in the final round, keeping Vannata on the outside and stinging him with jabs, crosses and a couple of shockingly quick high kicks. There was little suspense, as the judges scored the fight for Zellhuber (29-27, 29-28, 30-27), who moved to 1-1 in the UFC since graduating from the 2021 season of Dana White's Contender Series.
In defeat, Vannata fell to 4-7-2 in the Octagon and has now lost two in a row, his first streak of any kind since joining the promotion seven years ago.
