Namajunas, who stepped into the main event on short notice, submitted Paige VanZant in the fifth round of a one-sided matchup. Namajunas (4-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) had her UFC title hopes dashed one year ago when she was defeated by Carla Esparza at Thw Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale, but she followed up on her submission victory at UFC 192 in October by dismantling VanZant (6-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) this past Thursday night. Namajunas scored a takedown in Round 1 and bloodied VanZant’s right cheek with elbows. She threatened with a rear-naked choke and battered VanZant with punches before the bell.

Tate overcame a slow start in the opening minutes of the co-main event fight, and she dominated fellow contender Jessica Eye in the later rounds en route to a commanding unanimous-decision win. Tate (17-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Eye (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) traded punches throughout the opening three minutes and Eye repeatedly scored with stiff jabs and right hands that caused Tate’s face to swell up. Just when Tate appeared to be on the receiving end of a striking clinic, she countered a jab from Eye with a crushing right hook that sent Eye careening to the canvas and changed the course of the fight in an instant. Eye recovered on the mat, but Tate finished the round strong with elbows from the top. With momentum on her side, Tate rocked Eye early in Round 2 and dropped her with another right hand soon after
