Such a lame card all 4 bonuses came from the prelims and no FOTN.
Performance: Carli Judice

Yuneisy Duben via TKO (head kick, punches) – Round 1, 1:40 Carli Judice (4-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) got UFC Fight Night 254 started with a bang when she drilled Yuneisy Duben (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a head kick, then pounced for a TKO that took just 100 seconds. Duben was a popular upset pick in her promotional debut given she had been training with former UFC champ Rose Namajunas, but her unbeaten record vanished quickly.
