Louisville, Kentucky, usually known for its baseball bats, featured a different type of slugger taking the stage on Saturday night.
The main event between Nassourdine Imavov and Jared Cannonier will be the topic of conversation, as referee Jason Herzog perhaps called it early. But regardless, the Frenchman is making a quick rise up the rankings and is getting closer to a shot at a belt. He called out top contender and former champion Sean Stickland after the big win.
Also on the card was a preliminary fight between Canadian Brad Katona, who dominated opponent Jesse Butler to get back in the win column after a loss at UFC 297 in Toronto.
