Arnold Allen returned to form with a near-sweep decision over Melquizael Costa, strengthening his position in the featherweight top 10 after prior losses. A fight against fellow Englishman Lerone Murphy is proposed as a suitable next headliner for a UFC Fight Night. Doo Ho Choi, returning after a 17-month hiatus, extended his winning run by defeating Daniel Santos with a damaging body shot that finished the fight. Choi is positioned for a ranked opponent, with a matchup against veteran Patricio Pitbull suggested. Juan Diaz made a strong impression in a debut matchup, overcoming Malcolm Wellmaker after a foul and securing a rear-naked choke submission in the second round.
"Malcolm Wellmaker is not an easy assignment for someone making his debut, but Diaz passed the test with flying colours. After committing a foul at the end of Round 1, Diaz kept pressuring Wellmaker, finally submitting via rear-naked choke him in the second round."
