Head kick from Ortiz drops Nicolau. Follow up with ground and pound and the referee jumps in.
Randa Markos vs. Nina Ansaroff is next in a women’s strawweight bout. In round 1, Markos shoots in for a single but Ansaroff is fending it off well against the cage.

Nina explodes out and springs back to her feet with about 40 seconds left. In round 2, Ansaroff begins the second round nicely by landing a few stinging calf kicks. Markos is becoming more uncomfortable with those calf kicks. Ansaroff is striking well for the first half of the second. Ansaroff lands plenty of stiff jabs and leg kicks. Markos can’t take her down late but does crack Nina with a right-left to the head. Nice round for Ansaroff.
