Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 101 main event ended in memorable fashion when Robert Whittaker halted the momentum of Derek Brunson and continued his own with a thunderous first-round TKO victory in the FS1-televised headliner at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

It pushed his current winning streak to six. Some other results of note came out of the UFC’s final event outside of the North America this year

The flyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 101 event at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Geane Herrera revealed earlier this year that he had to put his MMA career on hold because he was unable to stay financially afloat competing in the sport. Herrera’s situation is slightly better now, he admits, which means he’s prepared to resume UFC competition. Herrera (9-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC), who fights Ben Nguyen (14-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 101 next month, has been forced to endure some tough times in recent months. It even got to the point where Herrera worked a job stocking shelves at a grocery store and lived out of his car just to get by.
