"Pereira opened Saturday's action with a leg kick, with the pair exchanging shortly after. Cowan held center, but it was Pereira finding success with her hands."
"Cowan would score a key, emphatic takedown about 90 seconds into round two, planting Pereira on her back well away from the fence."
"Moments after returning to the feet, Cowan ate a blistering knee that knocked her out cold! Certainly a stylish way for the UFC's current youngest female fighter to claim her first victory in the promotion."
