Agapova might’ve been the breakout star of UFC on ESPN 10 with her dominant performance, which led to a first-round submission win over Hannah Cifers.
Aguilera and Nam were part of UFC history with their respective knockout wins, as UFC on ESPN 10 became the first event to open up with three finishes inside of one minute. Aguilera opened the card with a 59-second TKO, and Nam followed with a 32-second knockout before Julia Avila, who did not receive a bonus, won with a 22-second TKO after that.
