Cavalcante (20-8-1) faced off with Pat Healy (33-22) for the vacant belt and finished the fight with a cracking right hand and perfunctory follow-up shots on the ground at the 2:07 mark of Round 1. The event took place at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla. The entire event streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
