UFC Fight Night 111 went down today (Saturday, June 17, 2017) from Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. The main event saw former bantamweight champion Holly Holm looking to right the ship against former title challenger Bethe Correia. She got back on the winning track in sudden and vicious fashion.

After a painfully uneventful first two rounds – toward the end of which referee Marc Goddard warned the combatants for inactivity – Holm got back in the win column with a highlight-reel knockout. Early in the third round, a question mark kick fooled Correia into blocking the body while Holm’s shin came up around her guard to land flush across her face. One follow-up punch iced the Brazilian completely, forcing Goddard to intervene on her behalf. Holm pocketed an extra $50,000 for her Performance of the Night.

The second Performance of the Night went to Japanese flyweight Ulka Sasaki, who got a stunning come-from-behind victory on the undercard. Facing the dynamic but inconsistent Justin Scoggins, Sasaki was taking a beating through the first round and a half. He had been dropped twice and pounded on from top position by the South Carolinian. A momentary lapse was all it took for Sasaki to capitalize, as he did not miss when he had his chance on Scoggins’ back. He slapped on a rear-naked choke and the tap came shortly after. Sasaki will leave Singapore $50,000 richer for it.

The Fight of the Night was also on the prelims, as welterweight sluggers Li Jingliang and Frank Camacho went to war. UFC newcomer Camacho repeatedly rocked “The Leech” in round one, looking on the verge of finishing it on multiple occasions. Only Li’s granite chin saved him. Camacho – a late replacement who fought just three weeks ago – started to fade as the cage time and the punishment began to mount. Li nearly finished “The Crank” in the third as leg kicks and hard punches upstairs took their toll, but Camacho gutted it out to hear the final horn. Both men were awarded an extra $50,000 for their spirited efforts.

  Wilson Reis Vs.

Wilson Reis Vs. Ulka Sasaki

Upon cursory look, it may seem like the universe has cut some Wilson Reis some slack considering that his original opponent was none other than the formidable Demetrious Johnson, but Johnson picked up an injury and that fight had to go down the drain for the time being. However, this does not mean that Reis will not get any action. He is now rescheduled to fight Ulka Sasaki who is a Japanese mixed martial artist. Sasaki may not be on the same level as Demetrious Johnson but the 125 lb fighter who went pro back in 2010 is also capable of actually taking down Reis. Taking a look at Sasaki’s mixed martial record across all stages, he has a total of 24 fights under his belt of which he has managed to clinch 19 wins. He even has 2 knockouts to his name and you can rest assured that he is going to Reis a run for his money.

Phillipe Nover Vs. Rick Glenn

Rick Glenn is an ex WSOF featherweight champion and he came out the worst when he faced off against Evan Dunham, but Glenn now gets a chance to prove his mettle in his preferred 145 lbs weight division where he will take on Phillipe Nover, who in comparison to Dunham, is docile and might just be the perfect prey for Glenn to take advantage of and gain back his confidence.
