UFC Fight Night took place May 30th from UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. In women's action Katlyn Chookagian bounced back from her title fight loss to take a dominant decision from Antonina Shevchenko. In round one Chookagian got it to the ground right away and dominated the round landing hard punches and coming very close on some submission attempts. Round two was a replay of round one with Chookagian again controlling the action from the top. Round three was a little closer as it stayed on the feet mainly, but Chookagian eased her way to the decision. Also Mackenzie Dern got back on track with a quick win over Hannah Cifers. Early they clinched and Cifers while physically smaller seemed the stronger of the two controlling the action. But Dern went to the ground and Cifers made the mistake of following her and Dern got a kneebar for the tap. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
