Kelleher (17-7 MMA, 1-0 UFC) stepped in as an injury replacement for Felipe Arantes and was one of the biggest underdogs on the card. He submitted Alcantara (34-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) with a guillotine less than two minutes into the opening round of the bantamweight affair. Afterward, the UFC newcomer infuriated the crowd at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro with his post-fight interview.
