• Darren Till picked up a huge win in his middleweight debut by defeating Kelvin Gastelum.
• Just when you thought Stephen Thompson could be done with, he returns in vintage form with a dominant win over Vicente Luque.
• Derrick Lewis continued to assert himself as a heavyweight contender with a victory over Blagoy Ivanov.
• Kevin Lee welcomed himself back to the lightweight division in the most emphatic of ways with a “Knockout of the Year” candidate to beat previously undefeated Gregor Gillespie
• Corey Anderson made his case to challenge light heavyweight champion Jon Jones by stopping the heavily hyped Johnny Walker in the first round.
