Round 1: Strawweight fight to kick us off on main card. Should be a good one between Curran and Herrig. Referee for this one is John McCarthy. They don't touch gloves. Herrig active with kicks early, high and to the body, now low to the leg. Nice combo from Herrig, the hometown girl. She's landing early, nice body kicks. Now Herrig takes Curran down, and she's in her half guard. Boom, she swivels right over and takes her back. Now Curran stands up, and Herrig as they scramble Herrig sinks choke. They drop back down to ground, and Curran in big trouble. Curran trying to survive. Herrig gets the rear naked choke! It's over. Dang. Herrig, after a year out, makes good in her old stomping grounds against Curran. She looked great.
