Meanwhile, Shevchenko received the card’s other “Performance of the Night” bonus due to a “Knockout of the Year” contender in the co-headliner. The reigning flyweight queen retained her belt in brutal fashion, knocking out Jessica Eye with a head kick 26 seconds into round two for her first successful title defense.
Finally, Ferguson and Cerrone were entertaining as advertised, capturing “Fight of the Night” honors for their featured lightweight tilt. The combatants went toe-to-toe for 10 minutes, but the contest was halted before the third round when Cerrone’s eye swelled shut. Even before that, it appeared that Ferguson was on his way to earning a victory.
