Cris Cyborg defeated Gabrielle Holloway by unanimous decision in a four-round
bout. This marks the first time a co-main event was a four-round women’s
matchup. Add Cyborg's legendary stature to the table, making her U.S. debut in
a new sport, further highlights BLK Prime’s mission to create a more equitable
platform in boxing.

Avanesyan and every member of the undercard bringing unique cultural
