Elsewhere, Jingliang Li claimed the card’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award by virtue of his third-round finish of Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in the welterweight co-main event. “The Leech” rocked dos Santos with an uppercut and then sealed his victory with a barrage of punches at the 4:51 mark of the third frame.
Finally, Heili Alateng and Danaa Batgerel garnered “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their preliminary bantamweight scrap. Alateng relied on crisp one-two combinations for much of the fight before sealing his decision triumph with a pair of takedowns in the third stanza.
