Louisiana native Carli Judice opened the show in style, finishing Nicolle Caliari in the third round before a run of five straight fights ended in the first round. Brunno Ferreira, Ryan Spann, and Jimmy Crute all collected submissions, while newcomers Islam Dulatov and Ateba Gautier dispatched their respective foes with strikes. The final three fights all went the distance, but they were all thoroughly entertaining and highly competitive, as Nikolay Veretennikov, local boy Brendan Allen and “Lok Dog” Vinicius Oliveira all got their hands raised.
