St Louis, January 15: Jeremy Stephens devastates Dooho Choi with a powerful right hand to earn the stoppage in UFC Fight Night 124: Stephens Vs Choi at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri on Sunday (January 14).

In the main event, the American Stephens knocked Choi to the mat with his powerful right hand to earn a TKO over the Korean at the 2:36 mark of the second round in a feather weight bout. This was also Stephens' second straight win which strengthens his argument for title contention.

A women's flyweight bout played the co-main event of the evening, which saw the returning Paige VanZant take on Jessica-Rose Clark.

Rose Clark spent two rounds beating VanZant on the mat and in the end the math worked out in her favor as she took the victory on the scorecards against an injured VanZant via unanimous decision win with scores of 30-27, 29-28, and 29-28.

To open the main card, featherweights Michael Johnson and Darren Elkins locked horns in which Elkins got Johnson to the mat and locked up a rear-naked choke to force the tap at the 2:22 mark of Round 2.

Next up on the main card, an undefeated Kamaru Usman turned in a vintage performance against Emil Meek, using his grappling and ground and pound to earn a decision win.

Catchweight Mads Burnell dominated Mike Santiago in the opening bout of UFC St Louis and the former with takedowns and top control stagnated the momentum of the latter over three rounds, which led to a unanimous decision of 29-28.

Followed that was a women's stawweight bout in which J.J. Aldrich was slow to start but picked up pace in the later rounds against Danielle Taylor, who struggled to get any offense going that resulted in a victory with scores of 29-28 across the board for Aldrich.

Next up was a split decision win for Jessica Eye in a women's flyweight bout against Kalindra Faria. While, in a women's bantamweight bout Irene Aldana defeated Talita Bernardo via unanimous decision.

Later, there were two stoppages on the preliminary card where Kyung Ho Kang stopped Guido Cannetti via a triangle choke (submission) in a bantamweight bout and Marco Polo stopped Matt Frevola via knockout at 2:22 of the second round of a lightweight bout.

Next up, a lightweight bout concluded the prelims where James Krause emerged victorious over Alex White via unanimous decision.
