One hunter may have already sealed a performance of the night bonus in the third fight of the night in the O2 Arena.
With the UFC London card underway, the highlight of the event came so far after two back-to-back decision wins for Underdogs.
While the dominant performance of Kaue Fernandes against Guram Kateladze certainly deserved a lot of praise, British Vecht fans were still waiting for the first finish of the night.
The weekend has already seen some highlights with Cage Warriors the night before they produce a record-breaking knockout.
The Octagon produced his own when it seemed as if Puja Tomar was about to deliver a statement finish to get the fans out of their seats, Shauna Bannon turned the fight completely upside down.

Shauna Bannon takes the victory out of the jaws of the defeat with an arm bar in UFC London
In the first round of their straw weight matchup, Shauna Bannon was able to largely control Puja Tomar thanks to her unique karate style.
The Irish striker kept Tomar remotely with her ruthless side kicks with the biggest moment of the first round to get into the face in the form of a huge side kick.
Despite a few stairs that landed a bit low, Tomar delivered her own flashy strike in the second, and Bannon dropped with a huge main kick with a finish that apparently only had a few moments removed after the technology had landed clean.
Bannon somehow survived the knockdown and began to implement her improving grasp game before threatening her back with an arm bar.
After a slight adjustment of the technology, she was able to make the entry to get the tap after she was about to lose only a few moments earlier.
Bannon called for a performance of the night bonus in her interview after the fight and although the Armbar itself did not use the O2 Arena, the incredible comeback did all the talk for her.
The 31-year-old has now delivered back-to-back victories after a loss for Bruna Brasil during her UFC debut in July 2023.
Shauna Bannon showed an essential improvement in her remarkable comeback victory
Although Shauna Bannon has landed a number of impressive and flashy stairs that had her opponent on the rear in the first round, her approach became predictable.
Whether Puja Tomar would have produced an answer to that question later in the fight is not relevant, but that may not be the case in other matchups.
After having produced an entry from her back, Bannon showed that her skills improve and that she has more ways to win than just her karate striking style.
After a difficult start of life in the UFC, it is vital that she makes improvements that will make her a more well -completed competitor at Strawweight.
