A very dominant opening round for Anastasia Nikolakakos in her atomweight bout against Ashley Medina. The round could likely be scored 10-8 in favor of Nikalakakos. The outstanding performance continued into the second round. Transition from position to position, ground and pound, all part of the story here. Medina’s mouthpiece comes out and the referee calls an end to the fight.
Jamie Moyle, who missed weight yesterday by nine pounds, dropped a unanimous decision to Brianna Van Buren. Moyle was cut up and bruised throughout the contest while Van Buren looked fresh following a full 15-minute fight.
What an incredible three-round atomweight bout between Alesha Zappitella and Amber Brown. Zappitella was dominant throughout two rounds, with Brown winning one. With a win over the title contender in Brown, Zappitella should be next in line for a title shot.
WOW!!!!!!!! Kay Hansen steps in on short notice to fight Sharon Jacobson. Hansen gets DOMINATED for a near full three rounds. With less than 20 seconds left in the fight, Hansen finds an arm, and applies the submission to get the win. Extremely impressive.
UFC veteran Danielle Taylor looks fantastic in her Invicta FC debut over Monserrat Ruiz. The fight took place in the night’s co-main event. Taylor wins by unanimous decision.
In the main event, defending atomweight champion Jinh Yu Frey picked up a very close split decision over challenger Minna Grusander.
