Midway through the opening round of the co-featured event, the referee halted the fight and asked the ringside physician to exam Sidy Rocha (12-8-2, SFT: 0-1-0), who was making her SFT debut, and her fight against winner Karina "Killer" Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0) was stopped because Rocha had fractured her arm.
