After battering each other with big shots in the first, Harris took the fight to the canvas and dominated the action remaining in top position and landing damage, looking for submission openings in the second.

While Harris couldn’t find the finish, he dominated the final two thirds of this contest to secure his third UFC victory in four appearances and improve his record to 18-5 overall. As for Gooden, the returning “Nitetrain” falls to 1-4 inside the Octagon with the loss. | Official Scorecards

After a good first round where he flashed his speed and striking ability, Silva blasted Nam with a front kick to the chin early in the second, sending him tumbling backwards to the canvas. He chased Nam to the ground and when the veteran tried to work back to his feet, Silva attacked the choke in transition, securing the hold and putting Nam to sleep.

Silva went without a victory in his first three UFC appearances, but has now earned stoppage wins in each of his last three outings, which should carry him into the Top 15 in the flyweight division when the rankings reset early next week. | Official Scorecards

The 29-year-old Brazilian was crisp, aggressive, and effective from the jump, hurting Aldrich with knees in the clinch, elbows off the break, and fast, powerful kickboxing in all three rounds. Her takedown defence was also on point, as Lipski was able to consistently stuff the initial entry and punish Aldrich for coming inside.

Just 3-5 in her first eight UFC appearances, Lipski delivered her most complete performance to date, getting herself back in the win column following a one-off trip to bantamweight last year. She had a ton of success prior to arriving in the UFC, and if she shows up like this more consistently, Lipski will continue to have more success in the Octagon as well. | Official Scorecards

After a competitive first round, Henry appeared to be pulling away by stepping on the gas pedal in the second, taking the fight to Gravely. Instead, the Dana White’s Contender Series graduate stood his ground and responded in kind in the third, once again going shot-for-shot with the Josh Barnett protégé.

When the scores were added up, Henry came out ahead, securing the split decision win and his second UFC victory. | Official Scorecards

The middleweights came out swinging to start, but Fremd wisely brought the fight to the canvas after stinging Dumas in the first, finding a clear advantage on the mat. He followed the same approach in the second, hitting a high amplitude hip toss before finding a guillotine choke out of a scramble along the fence. After adjusting his grip, Dumas was forced to tap, giving Fremd the upset win.

This was a smart effort from the Pittsburgh native, who came up short in his first two UFC appearances. He played to his strengths, stayed patient and calm, and wrapped up the win, moving to 10-4 overall with the victory. | Official Scorecards

Referee Keith Peterson took a point from Grant for repeated fence grabs, but rather than restarting them on the ground, they resumed on the feet, and Grant made the most of it, hurting Assuncao before locking up a reverse triangle choke to secure the finish.

This was a wild comeback for the ever-dangerous Brit, who made the most of this short-notice opportunity to pick up a second straight win. Assuncao took off his gloves and left them in the center of the cage following the contest, signalling the end of his career, with the Brazilian walking away with a 29-9 record overall. | Official Scorecards

The Dana White’s Contender Series graduate pushed a heavy pace early, forcing Brzeski to wrestle for much of the first, with the big Polish heavyweight showing clear signs of fatigue midway through the first. Williams rocketed out of the corner to start the second, blasting Brzeski before launching him to the canvas, grinding on him for much of the frame before using his wrestling advantage to grind out the final round.

This was a good first showing for Williams, who moved to 8-1 overall with the victory, extending his winning streak to five. For Brzeski, it’s a second consecutive setback, which drops his record to 8-3-1 for his career. | Official Scorecards

Petrino was hurting Turkalj on the feet late in the second, sending “The Pleasure Man” to the canvas, only to get caught with an upkick on the jaw on the way into his guard. In the second and third, the two inexperienced light heavyweights engaged in an exhaustive grappling battle, each man having positive moments, but neither being able to find prolonged success on those exchanges.

The fight surprisingly went the distance, and when the scores were added up, it was Petrino that emerged victorious, securing a victory in his UFC debut to remain undefeated at 8-0.|Official Scorecards

This was a statement performance from the surging Bautista, who rag-dolled the veteran Argentine. A belly-to-back suplex created the opening Bautista needed to fish his arm under the neck and secure the choke, leaving Cannetti no choice but to tap.

The 29-year-old Bautista has now earned three straight submission wins and consecutive first-round finishes to push his record to 6-2 inside the Octagon and set himself up for a step up in competition next time out. He’s not one to say much, but his efforts have been speaking volumes as of late. | Official Scorecards

Nurmagomedov had the speed advantage early and landed the bigger shots in the first, but Martinez displayed otherworldly toughness and tenacity, staying stuck to his Russian foe throughout, keeping the fight close and competitive. When one would have a good moment, the other would respond in kind, with neither gaining a clean, definitive advantage at any point over the course of the three-round clash.

The judges were called upon to determine the winner, and when the 10s and nines were totalled, it was Martinez that came out ahead, earning 29-28 scores on all three cards. That gives the 28-year-old Factory X representative five straight victories, seven wins in his last eight starts, and nine wins in a dozen appearances over the course of his UFC career. | Official Scorecards

Both men came out of the shoot running hot, trading big shots before getting into a back-and-forth on the ground. First Spann attacked a D’arce choke and then a guillotine, and when Krylov broke free, it was his turn to go on the offensive, controlling positions and attacking a guillotine of his own. Spann dumped him over the top, but when he raced in to capitalize, Krylov quickly threw up a triangle choke and locked it up snug.

That’s not three straight for the surging veteran, who continues to improve and make gains in the light heavyweight division. The 31-year-old is now 5-4 in his second stint with the promotion, 10-6 in the UFC overall, and 30-9 for his career, having fought a Murderer’s Row of competition over the years. | Official Scorecards

After shutting down Romanov’s first takedown attempt — with the assistance of a massive fence grab — Volkov opened up with his offence, kicking Romanov in the belly twice and firing off big shots that clearly had an impact. When Romanov looked for a desperate takedown, Volkov avoided it, swam to the back, dug a hook in, and started unloading, eventually flattening Romanov out and working to the finish.

That’s now consecutive first-round stoppage wins from the Russian veteran, who moves to 3-1 in his last four fights and 36-10 overall. | Official Scorecards

“The Machine” shot for two takedowns in the opening minute of the fight and never let off the gas, mixing in hard punches and punishing kicks to Yan’s lead leg to keep the former champion off balance and unable to get into a rhythm. Despite working at a break-neck pace, Dvalishvili only started to slow in the championship rounds, and even then, he simply dropped to a normal human being’s pace.

Dvalishvili established a new record for the most takedown attempts in a UFC contest while handing the former champion a third consecutive defeat. After losing each of his first two appearances inside the Octagon, Dvalishvili has been unstoppable since, and Saturday’s main event victory establishes him as a bona fide title threat in the 135-pound weight class. | Official Scorecards
