While Moreno closed the gap in the third and fourth by wrestling, Kavanagh stuffed all the takedown attempts and continued to land the more telling blows into the fifth, where much of the frame was spent clinched along the fence.

The judges were tasked with determining the victor and then the scores were collected and totalled, it was Kavanagh that came out ahead. This was an excellent effort from the 26-year-old, who rebounded from his first professional loss in resounding fashion while catapulting himself into the Top 10 in the flyweight division. | Prelim Results | Scorecards

Vera had good moments and connected with a few powerful shots, but it was another instance where he just didn’t throw enough to truly swing things in his favor, while Martinez was just constantly throwing and touching throughout.

All three judges scored the fight for Martinez, who has now earned consecutive wins over Vera and Rob Font to solidify his standing as a Top 10 fighter in the 135-pound weight class. Now 3-0 in the UFC, the Dana Whtie’s Contender Series grad has won 10 straight overall and continues to look like an ascending threat in the bantamweight ranks. | Prelim Results | Scorecards

Green was the quicker and far more effective of the two throughout, styling on Zellhuber from the outset while mixing in more offensive wrestling than usual. He continued to get the better of the exchanges and frustrated Zellhuber into the second, where he eventually wobbled the tall Mexican lightweight late in the frame, chasing him to the fence and putting him away with a torrent of punches.

That’s consecutive wins for the 39-year-old veteran lightweight, who continues to be a truth machine in the 155-pound weight class and shows no signs of slowing down. Just a classic King Green performance and a tremendous finish from the Inland Empire representative. | Prelim Results | Scorecards

The second was an ultra-competitive, with neither man getting a clear edge in the low-output striking frame before Chairez did his best work in the third, stinging Bunes a handful of times while trying to chase down a finish.

When the tens and nines were tallied, it was Chairez that landed on the happy side of the split decision verdict. This was a gritty win for “Puro Chicali,” who has now won consecutive contests and three of his last four, with the only setback coming against current champ Joshua Van.

But Rodriguez steadied himself after securing a takedown midway through the first and took over from there, attacking Borjas with strikes and dropping him with a glancing blow to the dome late in the second.

The 26-year-old flyweight is undefeated at 7-0, has a 100 percent finishing rate, and trains under former two-division champ Daniel Cormier. He’s still a little raw and needs more time to grow, but the upside is tremendous for “Himan.” | Prelim Results | Scorecards

The Minnesotan hung tough as he always does, taking everything Luna had to offer and making him work for every inch, but the young Mexican bantamweight was just too sharp, too varied on this occasion.

This was an excellent growth fight for Luna, who went to the scorecards for the first time and showed why he’s a highly regarded prospect. He’s now 8-0 overall and has earned a pair of good wins to begin his UFC tenure, with plenty of time to keep developing and gaining more experience before making a real push towards the rankings in the ultra-competitive 135-pound division. | Prelim Results | Scorecards
