In the main event, Brazilian standout Gabriel Bonfim toppled the always-dangerous Randy Brown with a thunderous knee in the second round. Adding even more steam to his second stint in the organization, Ultimate Fighter winner Joseph Morales bested flyweight luminary Matt Schnell, choking out the submission ace in just under three minutes.
