Champions Collide for Undisputed Glory
Headlining the event is a massive bantamweight title fight. Australia’s Cherneka Johnson defends her undisputed belts against Denmark’s Dina Thorslund.
I know a lot of people in here still look at Dina [Thorslund] as the queen of the bantamweight division. She’s got something that I want, and I’m going to take that and all these belts back home.
Johnson is highly confident she will secure her spot as the ultimate division queen.
Thorslund brings intense personal motivation into this dramatic match. After vacating titles last year, she is undeniably hungry for victory and aiming for a very fast stoppage win.
I just want to get in there, in that ring. That is the only thing I want to get in and get everything out, and I can’t wait to do that.
Middleweight Rivals Bring the Heat
The co-main event promises pure excitement. Australia’s unified champion Desley Robinson faces undefeated Canadian contender Tamm Thibeault.
I just want to get in there, in that ring. That is the only thing I want to get in and get everything out, and I can’t wait to do that.
Robinson wants to silence critics and add a Ring Magazine belt to her incredible collection. Thibeault firmly believes she is faster and stronger, confidently eyeing the middleweight crown
My goal is to take the fight off her as I did in my last fight, and continue to make statements. Although I am the champ, I still have that hunger to keep proving why I belong here and why I will be getting the Ring Magazine belt as well, which has also been added onto this [fight].
Both fighters are fully prepared for a grueling ten-round battle.
Will We See MMA Crossovers?
Press conference reporters asked every fighter about potential mixed martial arts futures. Some stars are entirely open to the idea. Shurretta Metcalf called MMA a legal street fight and is completely on board. Amanda Galle bragged about her jiu-jitsu blue belt and spin kicks. Meanwhile, Thibeault firmly declined, joking she is simply too tall to be flipped into a pretzel!
