Performance of the Night ($100,000 to the fighter): Joel Faglier
At heavyweight, Joel Faglier knocked out Javad Mahjoub in the second round after overcoming a big first round by Mahjoub, as he knocked Faglier down twice. It was a terrific comeback by Faglier, who proved that MMA isn’t about who looks best on the scale.
Finish Bonus ($25,000 to each fighter): Cristian Perez, Timmy Cuamba, Tanner Boser, Nick Galanti, Katlyn Cerminara, Steven Koslow, Chelsea Chandler, SuYoung Yoo
At lightweight, Cristian Perez knocked out Kyle Nelson in the first round. This was a quick one for Perez, as he stormed across the Octagon and stopped Nelson with punches early in round one.
In a bantamweight bout, Timmy Cuamba submitted Louis Jourdain in the second round. This was a terrific performance by Cuamba, who dominated Jourdain on the mat to earn his third win inside the Octagon.
In a heavyweight bout that served as the featured prelim, Tanner Boser got Canada on the board with a third-round TKO win over Jhonata Diniz. Boser absolutely dominated the fight with his grappling and ground-and-pound and got the finish late in the third round when referee Jason Herzog finally stepped in and stopped the bout.
At middleweight, Nick Galanti submitted Julien Leblanc in the first round. Galanti immediately shot a takedown, took Leblanc’s back, and tapped him out with a face crank submission for his first UFC win.

At bantamweight, Steven Koslow submitted Chad Anheliger with a third-round rear-naked choke. It was a very impressive performance by Koslow, considering he was coming off a four-year layoff as he went out there and finished the Canadian with seconds to go in the third round.
In a women’s bantamweight bout, Chelsea Chandler submitted Melissa Croden with a kimura. Chandler got Croden down to the mat and snapped her arm with the nasty submission for the win.
