Miocic avenges the first meeting

Dos Santos had won their first encounter by decision in December 2014, but Miocic reversed that outcome emphatically in the championship rematch. The defending heavyweight champion pressured dos Santos and finished him with punches at 2:22 of round one.

The result was Miocic’s second consecutive successful title defense. It also changed the balance of their rivalry: the former champion’s earlier decision win did not translate into a second victory when the belt was on the line.

Jedrzejczyk keeps the strawweight title

Andrade brought pressure and physical strength to her challenge, but Jedrzejczyk used movement and a varied striking attack to maintain her advantage. The champion won a unanimous decision after five rounds.

Demian Maia earned a split decision over Jorge Masvidal, extending his successful welterweight run. Frankie Edgar’s grappling and ground offense overwhelmed Yair Rodriguez; a doctor stoppage after round two gave Edgar the TKO. David Branch edged Krzysztof Jotko by split decision.

A no contest and a reinstated victory

Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier’s lightweight bout ended in a no contest after illegal knees in the second round. Neither fighter received a win. Their intense exchanges made the unfinished contest prominent in the evening’s story, but the official no-contest ruling is essential to its result.

Cortney Casey’s unanimous-decision victory over Jessica Aguilar was briefly overturned during a drug-testing dispute and subsequently reinstated. The final record is a Casey win. Elsewhere, Jason Knight, Chase Sherman, James Vick and Gadzhimurad Antigulov earned stoppages, while Enrique Barzola defeated Gabriel Benitez by decision.
