“The Elbow Queen” announced her decision via social media following
a second-round submission defeat to Mayra
Bueno Silva at UFC Fight Night 219 on Saturday. Lansberg went
10-8 over the course of a career that began in 2012.
“Thank you so much for all the love and support. This has been a
hell of a ride and to start fighting is the best thing I’ve ever
done,” she wrote. “It has given me so so much. But now it’s time to
move on. I’m done.”
Lansberg began her MMA tenure with victories in six of her first
seven outings. She debuted in the Octagon with a second-round TKO
loss to Cristiane
Justino in a 140-pound catchweight bout in the UFC Fight Night
95 main event. The Swede would post a 5-7 record in the Las
Vegas-based promotion, earning wins over the likes of Lucie
Pudilova, Tonya
Evinger and Macy
Chiasson. The 40-year-old Redline Training Center product exits
the sport on a four-fight losing streak.
