Drops decision after missing weight
StrawweightOther
April 9, 2022
Hansen lost to Piera Rodriguez via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 273 on Saturday in Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
You want to give Hansen the benefit of the doubt because she won't turn 23 years of age until mid-August, but not only is this her third straight unanimous decision defeat, but she missed weight by 2.5 pounds Friday morning. She had to forfeit 20 percent of her purse to Rodriguez in order for the fight to proceed. Kay was fine in the opening round when her takedowns were landing, but she offered nothing offensively the rest of the way when they weren't. There is still hope for Hansen due to her youth, but she is almost certainly looking at an extended run in Invicta or another promotion before the UFC considers running her back out there again.
Fight on after missing weight

April 8, 2022
Hansen will forfeit 20 percent of her purse after missing weight for Saturday's strawweight matchup against Piera Rodriguez at UFC 273, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hansen came in at 118.5 pounds and won't cut any further, but Rodriguez has agreed to face a heavy opponent. Hansen is coming off back-to-back losses since winning her UFC debut in June 2020, while Rodriguez is making her promotional debut after earning a contract through Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series in October.

Falls in UFC 270 opener
StrawweightOther
January 22, 2022
Hansen lost to Jasmine Jasudavicius via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 270 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Hansen was given Round 3 from two of the three judges, but there is a real case to be made that she didn't even deserve that. She had significant trouble getting out of the starting gate and never found her footing throughout the course of the bout. Hansen submitted Jinh Yu Frey in her UFC debut back in June 2020, but has suffered back-to-back unanimous decision losses since. The California native won't turn 23 years of age until this coming August and remains one of the youngest fighters on the entire roster, but it's fair to wonder if she would be better off getting these reps in Invicta -- where she competed in nine bouts -- instead of the UFC.
Facing Jasmine Jasudavicius
StrawweightOther
October 1, 2021
Hansen will face Jasmine Jasudavicius in a straweight matchup at UFC 270 on Jan. 22, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Hansen withdrew from a scheduled fight against Cheyanne Buys in March for undisclosed reasons, but she'll be ready to go 10 months later. Hansen will be looking to bounce back from a decision defeat against Cory McKenna in her previous fight and improve her UFC record to 2-1. Jasudavicius will be making her UFC debut.
