But for the April “Knockout of the Month,” we ran into a doozy. It’s hard to forget that insane elbow Mike Perry (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) dropped on Jake Ellenberger (31-13 MMA, 10-9 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 108 – especially given it was an elbow that probably made Ellenberger stop remembering things for a while. But Sabina Mazo (3-0) had a gorgeous head-kick finish of Jamie Thornton (4-3) at LFA 9 that put her in the running.

Two judges gave Dennis the nod with 29-28 and an inexplicable 30-27, while one dissented for Marques with a 29-28 tally. The light heavyweight fight headlined the AXS TV card at Firelake Casino in Shawnee, Okla. Marques had no intention of standing with Dennis and spent the better part of the opening frame driving for a takedown. One fence grab kept Dennis upright, but he lost position securing a hook in transition and wound up on his back
