Update: Amanda Nunes regained her double-champ status as she beat up Julianna Pena over 5 rounds. Pena was certainly game as she put the Lioness in several tight submission attempts but Nunes managed to escape them all. In the Co-main event, Brandon Moreno captured the interim title with a nasty liver kick against Kai Kara France in the 3rd round. France appeared to be turning the tide in the fight but the kick shut him down and Moreno finished the fight with follow up punches.
