“Kung Fu Kid” entered the night after coming up short against former bantamweight king Petr Yan in his only outing of 2024, and although he technically returned to the win column it was via an unexpected technical decision when Cejudo indicated he couldn't see following an eye poke in the third round.

Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez 2

The night’s co-main event featured ranked middleweight contenders Brendan Allen and Anthony Hernandez squaring off in a rematch of their 2018 title LFA title bout.
