Gastelum (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) added to his increasingly impressive resume when he stopped former UFC champion Belfort (25-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC) by first-round TKO in what was arguably the most high-profile victory of the 24-year-old’s career. Other big winners on the FS1-televised main card included former UFC light heavyweight champ Mauricio Rua (25-10 MMA, 9-8 UFC), highlight-reel knockout machine Edson Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) and flyweight prospect Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Alex Oliveira (16-3-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who all earned victories over their respective opponents. One fight didn’t produce a winner, though; Bethe Correia (10-2-1 MMA, 4-2-1 UFC) and fellow bantamweight Marion Reneau (7-3-1 MMA, 3-2-1 UFC) fought to the first draw in the history of UFC women’s competition.
