Introduction

Jairzinho Rozenstruik knocked out Allen Crowder in nine seconds, earning the other Performance of the Night — in the opening fight of the evening. Deron Winn and Eric Spicely earned Fight of the Night in the curtain-raising bout — only the 11th opening fight in UFC history to earn FotN and the first since 2016. Randy Brown stopped Bryan Barberena in the co-main event.
First UFC in South Carolina — A Card of Surprises
Bon Secours Wellness Arena holds approximately 17,000. The 7,682 attendance was below half capacity for Greenville’s UFC debut — reflecting Greenville as a mid-sized South Carolina market rather than a major urban centre. Rob Font vs. John Lineker had been scratched from the card days before the event when Lineker withdrew. Eleven fights proceeded as scheduled.

Rozenstruik’s 9-Second KO, Winn’s Rare FotN & The Card
Jairzinho Rozenstruik’s nine-second KO of Allen Crowder was the Greenville card’s fastest individual finish and one of the UFC’s historically notable stoppages. Rozenstruik’s right hand at 0:09 of round one produced a finish tied with two others as the ninth-fastest in UFC history. The stoppage earned Performance of the Night despite occurring in the opening fight of the evening. Crowder was the same Allen Crowder who had defeated Greg Hardy by DQ at FN143 in Brooklyn in January 2019.
Deron Winn and Eric Spicely’s Fight of the Night in the curtain-raising bout was the Greenville card’s most historically notable bonus context: only the 11th opening fight in UFC history to earn Fight of the Night and the first since 2016. Their back-and-forth MW exchange in the opening bout — producing the decision-heavy card’s most action-packed individual engagement before the 58-second and 9-second finishes — earned both fighters the FotN distinction. Randy Brown’s R3 knee TKO of Bryan Barberena in the co-main gave the card a quality finish before the explosive main events.

Legacy & Impact
Molly McCann’s Greenville win was her second consecutive UFC result, following the London FN147 win over Robertson. Her subsequent career produced consecutive spinning elbow KO bonuses at UFC London in March and July 2022 that made her one of the sport’s most beloved crowd-facing individual performers. Kevin Holland’s Greenville decision win was an early step in the MW career that produced five consecutive 2020 UFC wins before his 2021 title contender positioning.
FAQ
What made Rozenstruik’s 9-second KO historically significant?
At 0:09 of round one, Rozenstruik’s KO of Crowder was tied with two other fighters as the ninth-fastest stoppage in UFC history. The punch combination — a right hand that landed as Crowder charged forward, followed immediately by follow-up punches on the downed fighter — reflected Rozenstruik’s Surinamese kickboxing background: 76 professional kickboxing wins that had developed his right hand timing to elite-level precision. Crowder was 31 years old at the time with a UFC record of 4-3.
What was the curtain-jerker Fight of the Night historically notable for?
The Fight of the Night bonus awarded to the opening fight of an evening is statistically rare: in the UFC’s history of the bonus, an opening card fight had earned FotN only 10 times before Greenville. The typical pattern is for the bonus to go to a fight that produces sustained back-and-forth action in the later, higher-profile fights on the card. Winn and Spicely’s middleweight exchange in the curtain-raising bout generated the action quality that the bonus recognises, despite their position at the bottom of the fight order.
What was Moicano’s position after the loss?
Moicano had gone from top-three FW contender to two consecutive KO losses: a second-round TKO by Jose Aldo at FN144 in February 2019 and now the 58-second KO by Jung. His Greenville loss prompted a strategic career reassessment. Moicano subsequently moved to lightweight, where he rebuilt his contender narrative with wins over Alistair Overeem, Rafael dos Anjos, and Drew Dober before a UFC LW title fight against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 in January 2025.
What was Kevin Holland’s Greenville position?
Holland was a 23-year-old Riverside, California middleweight who had won his previous fight at FN141 in Beijing by RNC. His Greenville UD over Di Chirico — a 27-year-old Italian MW with UFC experience — was his second consecutive UFC win. His subsequent MW career accelerated dramatically: five consecutive wins in 2020, including four finishes, positioned him as one of the year’s most commercially compelling individual fighters.
What was Andrea Lee’s 7th consecutive win?
Lee was a 28-year-old Lubbock, Texas FLW who had gone 11-2 professionally before Greenville. Her seventh consecutive win over Montana De La Rosa demonstrated the striking and grappling quality that had built her consecutive-win streak across multiple weight classes. De La Rosa was a 25-year-old San Antonio FLW with UFC experience; Lee’s comprehensive UD reflected her competitive dominance in the FLW division.
What was Deron Winn’s significance?
Winn was a 26-year-old Colorado wrestler making early UFC appearances. His Greenville Fight of the Night over Spicely — in the opening bout — was his highest-profile individual bonus result to that point. Eric Spicely was a 31-year-old Providence, Rhode Island MW who had previously lost to Darren Stewart at FN130 Liverpool. Their Greenville exchange produced the quality that earned both the rare curtain-raising FotN.
