On the UFC Phoenix main card, the company’s #11 ranked strawweight Cortney Casey go the distance with the #12 ranked Cynthia Calvillo. The bout was competitive throughout, but it was Calvillo who earned herself the decision victory. Calvillo has now won two-straight and moves herself up the ladder. She called out top-5 115-pounder Tatiana Suarez in her post-fight interview. Before that, Kron Gracie made good on his promotional debut with a first-round submission of UFC mainstay Alex Caceres. Gracie by sub? Who would have guessed it? The UFC noob advances to 5-0, all by way of submission.
Also on the main card, Vicente Luque and Bryan Barberena went blow for blow, toe to toe, like whoa!
