Tybura would was given ‘Performance of the Night’, as well as $50,000 to take home along with his second round victory.
In the main event of the evening featherweight highlight reel combatants Yair Rodriguez and Alex Caceres went toe-to-toe in one of the most exciting main events in recent memory, as the two 145-pounders unleashed their respective unorthodox arsenals on one another. The bout would go all five rounds and would see the up-and-coming Rodriguez take home the split decision victory. Caceres won’t go home empty handed however, as the two men were given ‘Fight of the Night’ and will each take home an extra $50,000 for their efforts.
