Fight between Makwan Amirkhani and Jason is probably FOTN. First round was very crazy. Makwan had initiative but with two knockdowns Knight win that round in very dominant way. In second Makwan secured himself two takedowns which was enough for adventage in this round. Third was very close but Makwan had initiative and secure win. This was third straight loss for Knight while Amirkhani is now back on winning column.
Arnold Allen have fantastic comeback after two and a half round in which he was inferior against Mads Burnell. But, at the half of round 3 Mads give his neck so easily to Allen and he use that to set up very good choke and force Burnell to tap. This was 6th straight win for Allen, 4th in UFC.

Main Event
In main event fight, we saw very tactical fight between Darren Till and Stephen Thompson. A lot of feints, movement, leg kicks, jabs and counter attacks in all five rounds. After four round both fighters was very close and neither of them had obvious adventage. In fifth, however, with very good left hook Till hurt Thompson but didn't get finish. After judges scores, Till win with unanimous decision, but very strange is that two judges gave Darren 49-46 ( that means 4-1 in round for Till ). However, this was 4th straight win for Till and his next opponent probably will be Kamaru Usman, or maybe Santiago Ponzinibbio. Also it will be interesting to see who is next opponent for Stephen Thompson.
