  • Khalil Rountree Jr. defeated Gokhan Saki in first round with nice left hand followed up with couple more punches and that was it. Rountree now have 3 wins and No Contest in his last four and he should fight with some of ranked contenders in LHW division in his next fight.

  • Anthony Pettis defeated Michael Chiesa and show some old "Showtime" from WEC days. In first round we saw close battle but in the second Pettis hurt Chiesa with right hand and then set up excellent triangle armbar forcing Chiesa to tap. It seems like Pettis have title aspirations again while Chiesa want to move to welterweight after failling the scale for this fight.

  • Mike Perry and Paul Felder give us best fight on the card and probably one of the best fights so far in 2018. This fight was a war and it was very close to judge, so at the end Perry win via split decision. After two losses in a row this was important win for Mike Perry. Felder, on the other side, didn't dissapoint in his welterweight debut. Remember, he was short notice replacement after both, Perry and he lost their original opponents.

Co-Main Event

  • Derrick defeated Francis Ngannou in very boring fight without any important things and punches.

Main Event

  • Daniel Cormier made historic win becoming second man in UFC history to be champion in two division simultaneously after knocking out Stipe Miocic in first round. He landed right hand after clinch and then finish Miocic. After fight we saw WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and show that is not helping MMA sport except people who will get a lot cash after this fight. According to Dana White, UFC president, Cormier vs. Lesnar is next fight for HW belt while DC also want to defend LHW belt. After all this, it looks like the most successful HW champion Stipe Miocic will not get his instant rematch.
