Though the fight only lasted a little over two minutes, both participants looked great. 'Bigi Boy' seemed to be very fluid and eager to exchange shots, but it was Volkov who landed the concluding strikes first. Volkov wobbled his counterpart with a thunderous right hand that sent his mouthpiece flying, which turned out to be the beginning of the end for Rozenstruik.
Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight, but not everyone viewed this as a great stoppage. Though it's better to be early than late in MMA, Rozenstruik was on his feet immediately after Dean stepped in and seemed to be on the upswing in terms of recovery.
#1. Felice Herrig calls it a career
When fans look back on Felice Herrig's career, they should look beyond the four-fight losing streak that ultimately closed this chapter of her life. Rather, fans should see the highs and lows, the wars won and lost, and the injuries overcome, mentally and physically.
Herrig arguably fought the best version of Karolina Kowalkiewicz this past Fight Night, which is a hard mountain to summit. Eventually, 'Lil Bulldog' was overwhelmed and despite her valiant efforts, was forced to tap from a rear-naked choke.
After the action was stopped, Herrig was seen taking her gloves off and setting them down in the octagon, which is known as a sign of retirement. She retired with a record of 14-10. In her post-fight interview, she said:
"I knew that, like, if I wasn't feelin it in the cage, that it was just going to be my last fight. Not in a bad way, I just-I just feel like, you know, there's something else for me. Like, it's time to close this chapter in my life..."
