Notes:

- Thomas Almeida called out Joe Soto after beating Matthew Lopez.
- Juan Espino picked up his first win post-TUF by taking a close split decision over Justin Ledet, who loses his 4th straight fight.
- Darrell Horcher said he'd like to fight Chris Wade, whos just re-signed with the UFC, for his next fight.
- Conor McGregor's teammate, Kiefer Crosbie made a successful UFC debut, TKOing Miguel Baeza less than a minute into the second round. This takes Crosbie to 3 wins in a row, previously beating Antonio McKee and then Ed Ruth prior to his UFC debut, both by TKO.
- Ryan Hall made quick work of late replacement, Kyle Nelson, with a rarely seen Cobra Choke submission for a Submission of the Night bonus.
- Chris Wade is a very popular callout on this card, as Lando Vannata was the second fighter to mention him as their preferred next opponent.
- World Class Glory Kickboxer, Jamal Ben Saddik made his MMA debut on the prelims, destroying Cuban Olympic wrestler, Michel Batista in less than a minute. A headkick knocked down Batista, and follow up punches ended the fight.
- Al Iaquinta snaps a 3 fight losing streak with a first round KO of Carlos Diego Ferreira, then requested a fight against Gregor Gillespie next.
- Charles Oliveira is now on a 8 fight win streak, and with a win over Dan Hooker, will be looking for a no.1 contender fight or even a title shot next.
- Francis Carmont outlasted Chris Camozzi to win the 29th season the Ultimate Fighter.
- Wanderlei Silva completed an excellent night for him personally, after TKOing Tito Ortiz in 39 seconds minutes after seeing a finale involving two of his fighters from Team Wanderlei. Wanderlei's victory was his first since 2013.
