The super fight main event took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where Cejudo stunned the UFC Bantamweight champion Dillashaw with kicks and multiple strikes to earn the stoppage at 0:32 of the first round.

In the light heavyweight bout that opened the main card, Glover Teixeira submitted Karl Roberson at 3:21 of round 1.

Later, in a women's flyweight bout, after digesting repeated take downs early doors of the fight, Paige VanZant bounced back to submit Rachael Ostovich with an armbar at the 1:50 mark of Round 2.

Next up, in flyweight rematch, Joseph Benavidez defeated Dustin Ortiz again. After taking a decision from Ortiz in November 2014, Benavidez took home another unanimous decision.
