Fight of the Night: Kevin Lee vs Dustin Poirier
Knockout of the Night: Alonzo Menifield (vs Johnny Walker)
Submission of the Night: Karl Amoussou (vs Court McGee)


Notes:

- Austin Hubbard was a +550 underdog, but finished Scott Holtzman in 123 seconds to record his first win in 3 fights.
- Another upset came in the next fight, as highly rated Russain, Rustam Khabilov was surprisingly beaten by late replacement, Rick Glenn.
- Karl Amoussou made his UFC debut with a submission over Court McGee in a fantastic fight. He called out Takeshi Sato for his next fight.
- It was 10-0 vs 10-0 with both fighters at 2-0 in the UFC, as Joey Davis took on Ross Houston. It was the American who was the victor, with a first round TKO.
- With both fighters coming into the fight on 5 fight winning streaks and looking to put their names in title contention, Niko Price managed to get the better of Jingliang Li, by submission which wouldve likely earned a no.1 contender fight next. Unfortunely, Price tested positive for drugs after the fight and the fight result was turned into a no contest.
- Alonzo Menifield kept his unbeaten record intact, moving to 14-0 with his biggest win to date, KOing Johnny Walker and moving to 7-0 in the UFC with all but one coming via stoppage.
- Kevin Lee bounced back from losing his title by knocking out top contender, Dustin Poirier, who is now on a 4 fight losing streak.
- Phil Davis made a successful return to the UFC, taking a Unanimous Decision over former title challenger, Anthony Smith. This was Davis' 4th win out of his last 5, with the other result being a no contest against Ralek Gracie.
- Jon Jones continued his streak at Heavyweight, moving to 2-0 in the stacked division. With Volkov vs Overeem up next for the belt, and Anthony Johnson after that, Jones will likely face another top contender to determine the next in line after Rumble. Altho Jones says he'd like to face Rumble soon whether it be for the title or not.
