Lee kept Iaquinta on the mat for two of the five rounds with his takedown game, but Raging Al survived and returned to his feet to defeat The Motown Phenomenon by earning scores of 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 for unanimous decision win.

In the co-main event, Edson Barboza absolutely brutalised Dan Hooker, who just stood and took all the punishment until the fight was stopped at the 2:19 mark of Round 3. Barbosa bounced back from a two-fight losing streak with that win, while Hooker was snapped of his four-fight winning streak.

In the main card opener, Charles Oliveira avenged a submission loss against Jim Miller with a first-round submission win of his own.

After losing to Miller by first-round submission at UFC 124 in December 2011, Oliveira earned redemption with a first-round submission of his own via a rear-naked choke. With that win, the Brazilian added to his UFC record for most submission victories, and handed Miller his fifth loss in six fights.

Also on the main card, Sergio Pettis returned to bantamweight to digest a loss against the physically superior Rob Font.

Font used his length on the feet and his size in the grappling exchanges to get the better of a very game Pettis in the three rounds to earn a unanimous decision win. The result meant, Font has alternated wins and losses in his last five, while for Pettis, it was his second loss in two months.

Earlier, in the preliminary card, Zak Ottow, Drakkar Klose, Zak Cummings and Dan Ige earned decision wins, while Joaquim Silva, Jack Hermansson, Mike Rodriguez and Juan Adams picked up stoppage wins.
