The ninth episode of the Ultimate Fighter Season 20 aired tonight on FOX Sports 1 and featured the first quarterfinal fight between Felice Herrig and Randa Markos.
No. 7 Felice Herrig vs. No. 14 Randa Markos
Round 1 – Markos connects first with a straight left. She clinches with Herrig, who lands short elbows from inside. Herrig pushes Markos against the fence, and they reverse each other as they jockey for position. Each fighter takes control against the cage until Markos attempts a failed leg sweep. Herrig lands on top in half guard, but it doesn’t take long for Markos to return to her feet. Markos engages in the clinch again, but this time it’s Herrig who goes for the leg trip. She also fails on it, though, and Markos lands on top in side control. She moves into a crucifix and twists Herrig’s arm with her legs. Herrig’s arm is bent in a modified armbar, and Markos wins with the unique finish.
