Cerrone would score an early first round submission over Oliveira.

The night’s second fight saw Lauren Murphy bloody late replacement Kelly Faszholz early in the second round and by the time round three came around Faszholz was a bloody mess. By the end of round three Murphy’s Reebok sports bra had gone from white to crimson red from her opponent’s blood.
