Kevin Holland opened the main card with a dynamic submission victory in the second round against Vicente Luque, followed by the rise in Coq Weight Mario Bautista spoiling the promotional beginnings of Patchy Mix, by ahead of the former Bellator champion to guarantee his eighth consecutive victory before closing an inanimate victory decision on Kelvin’s Gastelum.
In the co-printing event, Kayla Harrison ended her ascent at the top of the female rooster weight division with a submission victory in the second round against the double champion Julianna Peña. By claiming the title, Harrison joined Henry Cejudo as the only Olympic gold medalists to win the gold from the UFC, then concluded his incredible evening by welcoming Amanda Nunes in the octagon, where the two agreed to compete later this year.
And in the main event, Merab Dvalishvili continued his domination of the rooster weight division, to spray and to submit “Suga” Sean O’malley in their revenge match to keep his title. “The Machine” has now won 13 consecutive games, continuing to assert its arguments to be the best rooster weight of all time with another phenomenal performance.
It was an exciting collection of main card fights, crowned with a pair of submission finishes in the tandem championship fights, and we have all the details collected for you below.
