Tom Hogan – Hoganphotos/Ring City USA
“She came to fight and go to war,” said Mrdjenovich. “I am super disappointed that the fight was stopped. I got away from my game plan and it’s disappointing to lose my world title. I fight well in the later rounds and I am disappointed I didn’t get to show that. I have been known to drop my opponents in the later rounds. I felt I was starting to find my groove and I am just disappointed.”
Mrdjenovich (41-11-2, 19 KO) had, to put it lightly, a rough night at the office. A cut caused referee Benjy Esteves to send the fight to the cards early, and while it was ruled an accidental head clash, replays from Ring City USA indicated it was a clean punch that caused the cut. The heads did clash repeatedly between the fighters.
