Oh my. Thales Leites KO’s Francis Carmont. Didn’t see that one coming.

Leites dropped Carmont with an overhand right and finished him off with some GNP. Could be the end for Francis in the UFC (for now).

Thales Leites is 4-0 in 12 months in the UFC. Impressive.

Mein just slaughtered Pyle. Wow.

Guess Mein wasn’t overly distracted…

Beautiful fake shot into a three-punch combo by Jordan Mein. When Pyle loses, he loses early and violently.

For those still awake, anyone picking RDA? If not, does Ben get the finish tonight?

Wow!!! Rafael Dos Anjos just finished Ben Henderson in the 1st round. Boos coming down. Replay shows Ben was dazed.
