Cris Cyborg’s punching power completely overwhelmed Jennifer Colomb. Cris’s mainstay is in MMA, so fight fans are anxiously waiting for the time when she’ll be matched with Rhonda Rousey. Kevin put up a tremendous fight but Tetsuya held up and responded with deadly elbows which lead to Tetsuya taking the decision. Cosmo’s big punches lead to him taking the decision over Nampon. The event was a huge success which promises future fights at the same venue.
