Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Khamzat Chimaev, Mackenzie Dern, Randy Costa, and Damon Jackson; and FOTN honors went to... nobody!? Wow, what a fun night of fights we have to discuss with you! The night showcased a long-awaited & highly-anticipated WW clash between Tyron Woodley & Colby Covington. Unfortunately, the bout was terribly anti-clamactic, especially for a highly-touted main event. Covington backed Woodley up against the fence for nearly 25 minutes, battering away at him with elbows & knees, until he eventually succumbed to a fight-ending injury to the ribs; Niko Price & Donald Cerrone faced off in the co-main event of the night, which was actually entertaining — up until the fight was scored a majority draw. In the main card opener, Mackenzie Dern increased her clout in the UFC, as the BJJ virtuoso finished veteran Randa Markos via an armbar sub in the 1st Rd. In a light HW performance, Johnny Walker also came away with a 1st Rd finish when he put a swift stop to contender Ryan Spann by raining down elbows & punches for his TKO win. Right before the co-main event of the evening, Khamzat Chimaev continued to impress, when the undefeated crowd-puller put veteran middleweight Gerald Meerschaert to sleep with a 17-second knockout punch. The undercard portion of the night had an impressive 6 finishes out of 8 bouts. In our opener, Tyson Nam finished Jerome Rivera via TKO - punches. A couple bouts up the card, Randy Costa ended Journey Newson via head-kick KO just a mere 41-seconds into Rd 1 — to keep the multitude of finishes coming, Darrick Minner ended T.J. Laramie via guillotine sub only 52-seconds into Rd 1. As if this wasn’t enough action for the prelims, Jessica-Rose Clark also ended Sarah Alpar via TKO - punch & knee in the 3rd Rd. Mayra Bueno Silva ended Mara Romero Borella via armbar just a couple minutes into the 1st Rd. Toward the end of the prelims, Damon Jackson scored an unexpected sub via guillotine over Mirsad Bektić.
