Spann and Ige each won US$50,000 performance of the night bonuses. Canadian featherweight Charles (Air) Jourdain did win, scoring a third-round TKO over Argentina's Marcelo (Pitbull) Rojo on the undercard. The main event at the UFC's Apex production facility was stopped 18 seconds into the second round when 13th-ranked welterweight Belal (Remember The Name) Muhammad couldn't continue after a second accidental poke to the eye by No. 3 Leon (Rocky) Edwards of England. It was ruled a no-contest. Referee Herb Dean had warned Edwards about eye pokes in the first round. Muhammad was in tears when the fight was called, his right eye red and almost closed as he exited the cage.
