“Three weight classes and I proved that I can compete with the best at 38,” said the former lightweight champion.
“I don’t want to hear nothing from anybody.”
Also in the main card, Mike Rodriguez finished Marcin Pranchinio at the 2:17 mark in the first round with a KO through elbow and punches.
Joe Soleski earned a sumbission win by putting Austin Hubbard in a rear-naked choke in the first round while Shana Dobson also won her match against Mariya Agapova by TKO in the second round.
