Collard catches White coming forward and drops him with a counter left hook. White bounces back up, only to be sent back to the canvas by another punch near the fence.

Collard defends the submission but winds up pressed against the cage, where White drills him with a knee to the face. Another knee from White and he releases the Thai plum to reset in the center. Collard catches White with another left hook and a leg kick which strays low, prompting a verbal warning from referee Mark Smith. Collard catches a kick, can’t convert it into a takedown this time. He sends a straight right down the center to catch White walking into the pocket. White gets backed up by a leg kick and dives for a long takedown, sprawled on by Collard. An uppercut scores for White in the clinch, but “The Spartan” is wearing the worse of the damage on his face, sporting a cut beneath his eye and a bloody nose. Collard denies another takedown attempt, then decides to pull guard and immediately snares White in a triangle choke. White defends well and breaks the choke as Collard attempts to roll to the topside. They’re back on their feet, where White catches Collard with a standing elbow on the fence.

Round 3

The featherweights are in no rush to engage at the start of round three, Collard staying on his back foot while White tries to work his way inside. After a minute or so, White gets through with a combination that appears to hurt Collard, though “Cassius” quickly recovers. Collard throws a sloppy punch and White steps in to lock up, so Collard runs over to the fence. White pops him with a couple punches before Collard drops levels to attempt a takedown. It doesn’t work, but Collard manages to hold White against the fence midway through the round. They’re back to striking with two minutes to go, until White whiffs on a spinning back fist and Collard plows him to the ground. White slaps on a triangle from underneath, connects with some hard shots which bloody Collard’s nose, but he loses the choke as Collard stands up. White misses with another spinning back fist and this time eats a counter left for his trouble. Collard pushes him to the fence with another double-leg shot, can’t get the takedown.

Sergio Pettis vs. Matt Hobar

Round 1

The first left hook from Hobar sends Pettis to the ground, but the Roufusport fighter recovers quickly and grabs hold of Hobar’s legs as “The Crowbar” comes to try and finish. Pettis trips up Hobar and scrambles back to his feet, and now it’s Pettis’ turn to land some hard shots in the pocket. Hobar changes levels and drives Pettis to the ground, where the Texan buries his face in Pettis’ chest and slows the pace. Pettis tries an armbar, can’t get it but does manage to land a pair of upkicks as Hobar stands to escape. Hobar stands up in Pettis’ guard a few moments later, eats a couple more upkicks, and this time Pettis rolls and escapes to his feet with about 2:00 on the clock.

Ninety seconds into the round, Hobar pulls Pettis into his closed guard and slows the pace again. Referee Yamasaki stands them up with 2:20 left in the round and Pettis immediately resumes his punching, zapping Hobar with a big right hook on the end of a combination. Hobar is getting tagged when he throws, eating straight counter shots, so he gets hold of a leg and drags Pettis back to the canvas. Pettis keeps an active guard in the final minute, threatening with triangles and armbars, then making Hobar pay for escaping with another upkick. Hobar finishes the round on top, in side control.

Hobar gets in on a single-leg, can’t finish the takedown and gives Pettis a knee to the body as he exits the clinch. The next single-leg try puts Pettis up against the fence, but again Hobar can’t convert. Pettis sticks another straight right on Hobar’s damaged eye, then catches Hobar swinging wildly and catches him leaning with a kick to the head. Hobar’s punches are looping with 90 seconds to go, letting the quicker Pettis dip out of range and come back to counter with straight shots. After a couple jabs snap his head back, Hobar dives for a takedown and gets sprawled on. One last takedown attempt by Hobar is defended against the cage by Pettis as time runs out.

Pennington scrambles back to her feet, can’t escape Evans-Smith’s clutches and winds up held against the fence. Evans-Smith lands a solid knee before Pennington slips around the back and gets a waist lock to reverse the position. Now it’s Evans-Smith with her back to the fence, turning the position around again and attacking Pennington with knees to the body. Pennington is cut on her forehead from Evans-Smith’s knee, and now “Rocky” changes levels to floor Evans-Smith with a double-leg in the last 20 seconds.

Attacking on the fence, Anderson strings together a combination and, a moment later, nearly catches Jones in a standing arm-triangle choke.

The next takedown attempt from Anderson is defended by Jones, but “Lazy Bones” eventually succumbs. They’re quickly back on their feet, where Jones drills Anderson’s gut with a pair of sharp knees in the Thai clinch.

Urijah Faber vs. Francisco Rivera

Round 1

Faber lands a leg kick as he creeps forward, trying to wade into the pocket, clearly wary of Rivera’s punching power. The former WEC champ is pulling up short on his punches and now fakes a level change, but Rivera doesn’t bite. Rivera parries a combination with a counter right hook and then backpedals to dodge a takedown attempt. Faber picks the ankle and trips up Rivera, but “Cisco” bounces right back up. Another double-leg attempt from Faber goes by the wayside, and when he tries to pull the Thai plum, Rivera punches him back out of range. Rivera is getting busy with low kicks but whiffs on a two-punch combo. Faber feints a takedown and Rivera answers by threatening with an uppercut counter. Rivera lands a thudding body kick and shuts down Faber’s single-leg attempt behind it. Faber evades a pair of hard right hands from Rivera, who resumes leg-kicking and then taps Faber with an overhand right. Faber tries one more takedown at the end of the round and eats a knee for his trouble.

Tony Ferguson vs. Abel Trujillo

Round 1

Ferguson gets clipped with a right hand on the temple and hits the deck in the center of the cage. “El Cucuy” jumps back to his feet and gets chased around the outside by Trujillo, who tries to catch up and finish the fight with more punches but cannot. Ferguson seems to have regained his senses but he’s still eating straight punches down the center. Trujillo gets a takedown 90 seconds into the round but isn’t able to keep Ferguson on the ground for long. Once they’re back up, Trujillo takes a few seconds to set up another shot and then runs Ferguson back to the mat. Trujillo drops big punches through Ferguson’s long, kicking guard, but Ferguson is able to create space with the kicks and scramble up. Ferguson lands a whipping right hand that gets Trujillo to cover up momentarily. Trujillo circles away and catches the oncoming Ferguson with a few nice counter jabs in the final 30 seconds.

Ferguson dives over the top to attempt an armbar or kimura, sacrificing the dominant position for a submission attempt which leads nowhere. Trujillo catches Ferguson as he stands, but Ferguson turns him around for a clinch battle on the fence. Ferguson spins his man back to the mat midway through the round. Trujillo is back up a few seconds later, now backing up against the fence while Ferguson throws long punches from the center and cuts off Trujillo’s angles.

Schaub drives Browne to the fence with a double-leg and then peels the Hawaiian off to finish the takedown in the center. Browne gets back to his knees, then his feet, still with Schaub clinging to his back. Browne gets free and resets, then catches Schaub coming in with an uppercut. Browne tosses Schaub to the ground in the center of the cage and follows him to the ground, then steps into full mount. Schaub hip-escapes but can’t prevent Browne from mounting again, still with 80 seconds left in the round.

Browne goes right back to mount, then takes Schaub’s back and flattens him out, dropping punches with both hands as referee Mario Yamasaki calls for Schaub to defend himself. Yamasaki also warns Browne to watch the back of the head while punching. Browne keeps the punches coming, and with Schaub offering nothing in return, Yamasaki waves off the fight.

Pettis stuffs the takedown and then pushes Melendez away and throws a high kick, but Melendez comes straight back for another try. Pettis goes down briefly, scrambles back to his feet and puts a hand on the mat to avoid knees to the head, so Melendez throws knees to the body. Melendez grapevines Pettis’ left leg and throws left hands up top, working to trip the champion. Pettis covers up to avoid the shots, but some of Melendez’s punches are getting through.
