A co-main event winner extended the longest active winning streak in women's strawweight and backed up a bold championship claim.

Multiple finishes across the card produced $100,000 bonus checks and a Fight of the Night that ended with a broken jaw. Kevin Vallejos passed the test with flying colors. The rising star from Argentina made quick and relatively easy work of veteran featherweight contender Josh Emmett.

The end was quick and destructive as Vallejos looks ready to take the next step towards title contention. Here’s a look at every finish from the card including Vallejos nightcapper that earned him one of the night's performance bonuses at the Apex in Las Vegas. How Did Kevin Vallejos Beat Josh Emmett?

Vallejos (18-1, 4-0 UFC) opened with a standing elbow that sliced Emmett's forehead open almost immediately. A counter right hand dropped Emmett and the 24-year-old Argentinian never let him recover. He pinned the veteran against the fence and unloaded punches and elbows until Herb Dean had seen enough.
