The last two $50,000 checks were given out to the main event fighters that held it down for this fight card, Mackenzie Dern and Angela Hill. Those two put on a show for the fans, absolutely going to war for 25 minutes with no quite from either one. Their willingness to go all out for the entirety of the fight after agreeing to push the fight back one more week makes them the most worthy of that bonus check.

Mackenzie Dern was able to come away with the dominant decision victory over Angela Hill which really puts her in a good place to get right back into the title picture. It will be interesting to see what is next for Dern moving forward.
