The co-main event was a pivotal flyweight scrap between Kristina
Williams and Dee Begley.
The first two rounds were largely contested on the feet, with
Williams (7-4) having a clear striking advantage. Begley (4-3)
would have her best moments in the third round, taking down her foe
and controlling the action in guard for most of the round. However,
it was too little, too late, as Williams took a split decision win
with two of three 29-28 scorecards being in her favor.

In the first strawweight fight of the card, Andrea
Amaro made an impressive promotional debut against Hilarie
Rose. After a few minutes on the feet, Amaro (4-2) took Rose
(6-7) down to the ground. After defending an armbar attempt, Amaro
quickly
took her opponent’s back and snatched a rear-naked choke. Rose
tapped with 41 seconds left in the round.

The night’s lone featherweight fight saw Riley
Martinez stay undefeated against Julia
Dorny. Martinez (3-0) immediately took Dorny to the floor, took
her foe’s back and sunk in a rear-naked choke. Dorny (2-2)
tried to fight it but was forced to tap at the 1:48 mark.

The five-fight card began with a bantamweight bout between Maria
Djukic and Fernanda
Araujo. It wound up becoming a showcase for Djukic (3-1), who
was able to easily outstrike Araujo (2-4) over 15 minutes. Using
her jab to keep her opponent at bay, Djukic took a clear-cut
unanimous decision win with scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28 in her
favor.
