This past Saturday night (Feb. 4) the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its third event of 2017. The card’s main event was a featherweight match-up between Chan Sung Jung and Dennis Bermudez. The “Korean Zombie’s” return was a successful one as he knocked out “The Menace” with an uppercut.
Fans in the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas saw strawweight prospect Alexa Grasso battle Felice Herrig in the co-main event. “Lil Bulldog” pulled off the upset win by being more active offensively and connecting with the cleaner shots.
Another pivotal bout was the main card opener. No. 5 ranked UFC strawweight Jessica Andrade fought Invicta FC 115-pound champion Angela Hill. Andrade and Hill earned “Fight of the Night” bonuses for their exciting scrap. In the end, it was Andrade who earned the unanimous decision win.
The event’s medical suspensions have been released (via MMAJunkie.com). Seven fighters will have to sit out indefinitely. One of those competitors is Adam Milstead, who suffered a knee injury during one of Blaydes’ takedowns in the second round.
