Second twister submission in history of UFC by Bryce Mitchell.
Two bantamweight prospects, Cody Staman and Song Yadong, had majority draw decision ( judges scorecards 29-27, 28-28, 28-28 ). Worth mention, in round 1 because of illegal knee Song was deducted one point.
Aspen Ladd KOed Yana Kunitskaya while Ben Rothwell KOed Stefan Struve ( Rothwell was deducted point due to repeated groin strikes ).
Another draw on this card, this time in catchweight ( Calvillo missed weight for 4.5 over non-title fight SW limit ) fight between Marina Rodriguez and Cynthia Calvillo.
