With the pressure of facing a newcomer with an irregular record, Sean O'Malley did not shy away from his 'obligation' and dominated the fight from start to finish. With a vast arsenal of blows, the North American abused his technique and was sovereign throughout the fight. On the other hand, Moutinho showed a lot of resistance and withstood the 'beating' until the end of the third round.

With the first round knockout over the controversial Greg hardy, Tai tuivasa took home the 'Performance of the Night' bonus. Along with him, the South African Dricus Du Plessis, who knocked out Trevis Gilles on the preliminary card, also won the big bucks.
