In the opening match Max Holloway vs. Justin Lawrence a match that showed an inteligent mature holloway who kept his distance and waited methodically to strike at the right time and that time came in the second round when Holloway caught Lawrence with vicious body shots that sent Lawrence to the canvas and Holloway took advantage and unleashed the fury before justifiably Josh Rosenthal called the fight a KO to an ecstatic Holoway.

Next match was Yushin Okami vs. Buddy Roberts who performed well for the crowd but nothing to write home about, highlight being Okami taking Roberts down late in the first round and landing a barage of punches to an overwhelmed Roberts almost prompting the ref. to stop the fight but Roberts was saved by the bell, that is untol in the second round when Okami once again took his oponent down put him on his back and Roberts rolled over on his stomach while Okami landed about 20 unanswered punches before the fight was stopped.

Jake Shields and Ed Hermann's performance almost put the crowd to sleep to put it nicely, But UFC"s Dana White wasn't as subtle on his twitter account labeling the match "terrible" and the crowd booing the match with Shields as the winner .
