Fight of the Night: Esteban Ribovics def. Daniel Zellhuber

Esteban Ribovics def. Daniel Zellhuber via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

In one of the biggest no-brainer Fight of the Night winners in history, Esteban Ribovics (14-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Daniel Zellhuber (15-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) took home $50,000 each. In the second round, the two particularly went out guns blazing in one of the most exciting rounds in recent memory. Ribovics upset Zellhuber

Performance of the Night: Ketlen Souza

Ketlen Souza def. Yazmin Jauregui via technical submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 3:02

Ketlen Souza (15-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) drilled Yazmin Jauregui (11-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) with a left, then a right hook that dropped her to the canvas – seconds after a restart from a timeout for Jauregui for a low blow. She jumped on her and latched onto a rear-naked choke, and a few seconds later Jauregui was out cold with Souza’s bonus-winning upset.
