Performance of the Night: Shauna Bannon
Shauna Bannon def. Puja Tomar via submission (armbar) – Round 2, 3:22
Shauna Bannon (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) pulled off a stunning finish when she forced Puja Tomar (9-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) to tap to an armbar in the second round. It came not long after Tomar landed a huge head kick that sat Bannon down and nearly had her finished. But the Irish prospect rallied and lit up The O2.

Performance of the Night: Chris Duncan
Chris Duncan def. Jordan Vucenic via submission (guillotine choke) – Round 2, 3:42
Chris Duncan (13-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) didn’t care about the odds when he stepped into the cage against 3-1 favorite Jordan Vucenic (13-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC). The Scotsman tapped him with a brilliant second-round guillotine choke, then called out Terrence McKinney for a fight at UFC 314.

Performance of the Night: Alexia Thainara
Alexia Thainara def. Molly McCann via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 4:32
Alexia Thainara (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) took her UFC debut against Molly McCann (14-8 MMA, 7-7 UFC) on just 10 days’ notice. Then she made a noteworthy and lengthy cage entrance that was longer than it took for her to submit McCann in front of her home British fans. McCann announced her retirement after the loss.

Performance of the Night: Sean Brady
Sean Brady def. Leon Edwards via submission (guillotine choke) – Round 4, 1:39
Sean Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) left virtually no doubt he has the chops to challenge for a UFC title when he dominated former welterweight champion Leon Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC). Brady made easy work of Edwards with his wrestling for the first 15 minutes, then masterfully choked him out in the fourth.
