Njokuani has moved into title contention at 155 pounds, having bounced back from his submission loss to interim champion Benson Henderson in January with three consecutive finishes.
World Extreme Cagefighting officials awarded $10,000 “Fight of the Night” bonuses to headliners Donald Cerrone and Ed Ratcliff, along with bantamweights Scott Jorgensen and Takeya Mizugaki. Cerrone submitted Ratcliff with a third-round rear naked choke; Jorgensen outpointed Mizugaki in the night’s most significant upset.
Finally, K-1 veteran Brad Pickett banked a $10,000 “Submission of the Night” bonus in his promotional debut, as he coaxed a tapout from Kyle Dietz with a second-round Peruvian necktie. The 31-year-old Englishman has rattled off eight consecutive victories.
