Kay Hansen had quite the Saturday night.

The 20-year-old earned a win on her UFC debut after submitting Jinh Yu Frey with a third-round armbar in their women’s flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 4.

Hansen received an additional $50,000 for her effort after she was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus. And to top it all off, she also received praise from former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

Rousey Congratulates Hansen

Rousey was known for her armbars so it certainly means a lot when it’s her complimenting a fellow female fighter on that technique.

It’s even more so the case when you’re a 20-year-old winning your UFC debut.

“Congratulations ?????? looking forward to seeing more from you! Nice armbar ?”

Hansen also made one bettor richer as it was reported during the event that someone had staked $37,000 on her to get the win with a potential profit of $20,000.

That bettor ended up winning his bet and Hansen would go on to meet him at the airport afterwards. All in all, it was a very eventful weekend for the new UFC fighter.

Hansen previously competed at Invicta FC and now boasts a 7-3 record.

‘Damn!’: Dustin Poirier Reacts To Tony Ferguson Fight Suggestion

Ferguson vs. Poirier Next?

It would appear Dustin Poirier (deservedly) wants a lot of time to recover before returning to the Octagon again.

Poirier took part in a 25-minute war opposite Dan Hooker in the UFC Vegas 4 headliner last night. In a contest that was surely a Fight of the Year candidate, it was “The Diamond” who came out on top as he won a unanimous decision victory to return to the win column.

Having previously come off a loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in their title fight last September, the question quickly turned to who Poirier should face next.

There are two main options — Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson. And when ESPN’s Ariel Helwani proposed the latter as a next potential fight, Poirier responded.

“Damn!! Let me rest bruh!!!”

Poirier certainly deserves some rest and likely won’t be competing until the end of the year anyway. The same can be said for Ferguson who is coming off his own war with Justin Gaethje at UFC 249 last month.

A fight between the pair has been talked of in the past, especially by Poirier. And now more than ever, it makes perfect sense.
