Germain de Randamie, former featherweight champion (65,8kg), showed that her advanced age (36 years old) is not stopping her from achieving good results in the octagon. Specialist in muay thai, the Dutchwoman surprised by beating Juliana Peña, precisely, in her strong point (fighting on the ground), by applying a guillotine in the third round.
Luigi Vendramini has a special reason to celebrate the award. At 24 years old, the Brazilian, who hadn't fought since 2018 due to two surgeries on his right knee, ignored the time away and won his debut at lightweight (70,3kg). Vendramini needed a little more than a minute to knock out Jessin Ayari, in the duel that opened the event.
The undefeated Dusko Todorovic he debuted for the organization and has already won one of the bonuses. The 26-year-old Serbian had no trouble knocking out Dequan Townsend in the second round and his good performance served as a warning to the other middleweight athletes (83,9kg).
Last but not least comes Kyler Phillips. The North American was not aware of newcomer Cameron Else, who made the commitment at the last minute, and confirmed his superiority by delivering a knockout in the second round. Phillips, 25 years old, competed in two fights for the organization, won both with a good performance and is starting to see a place in the top-15 of the bantamweight division (61,2kg).
