In the co-main event, Jessica Andrade put herself one step closer to another shot at the women's strawweight championship after she took a unanimous decision from Tecia Torres with a trio of 30-27 scores.

Andrade could next face the winner of the rematch between current champion Rose Namajunas and former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Earlier on the main card we saw two upsets as Max Griffin defeated Mike Perry and Ilir Latifi defeated title favourite Ovince Saint Preux.

In the main card opener massive under dog Griffin pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career with a decision win over favourite Perry with scores of 29-27, 29-27 and 30-27 in a welterweight bout.

While Lafiti's guillotine choke made Saint Preux tap at the 3:48 mark of the first round in a light heavyweight bout. After the victory Lafiti said he wants to fight current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who next will try to become a two-division champ.
