UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs Gastelum Results





UFC Fight Night took place April 17th from UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. In women's action Tracy Cortez took a decision from Justine Kish. In round one Cortez got the fight to the ground and dominated with hard ground and pound. In round two she tried the same but Kish was able to stand and win the round on her feet. Round three was much like round two except Cortez had more time on top and it was enough to get the decision. Earlier Jessica Penne made her long-awaited return to the cage and took a decision from Lupita Godinez in an exciting fight. Penne was able to get Godinez to back into the cage and force the clinch and get her back standing multiple times. Godinez landed some good power shots but it wasn't enough for two of the three judges. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
