Jones finishes Gustafsson in the rematch
Their first meeting at UFC 165 had gone five closely contested rounds. The second fight followed a different course: Jones used his range and varied attacks before taking Gustafsson down in round three. From an advantageous position, he landed the punches that ended the contest at 2:02.
The victory awarded Jones the vacant light heavyweight title. The event’s location is an important part of its history: it was held in California, despite having originally been scheduled for T-Mobile Arena in Nevada.
Nunes adds the featherweight belt
Nunes entered as bantamweight champion and challenged Cyborg for the featherweight championship. An immediate exchange of hard punches favored Nunes, who repeatedly hurt the defending champion before the knockout.
The 51-second finish made Nunes the first woman to hold UFC championships in two divisions simultaneously. Its speed was striking, but its importance came from defeating the established featherweight champion while already holding the 135-pound belt.
Volkanovski and Chiesa win; a result later changes
Alexander Volkanovski stopped Chad Mendes late in round two, providing an important featherweight victory. Michael Chiesa submitted Carlos Condit with a kimura in his move to welterweight, while Corey Anderson defeated Ilir Latifi by decision.
Ryan Hall submitted BJ Penn with a heel hook, and Petr Yan stopped Douglas Silva de Andrade between rounds. Walt Harris initially received a split decision over Andrei Arlovski, but the California commission later overturned that result to a no contest following a failed drug test. The complete results below reflect that amended outcome.
