• He secured his UFC deal on Dana White’s Contender Series about a month earlier after asking to be placed on the Perth event.
• The win extended Rowston’s streak to five and brought his tally to 12 finishes in 13 career victories.
• He punctuated the result with a John Cena-style celebration, delivered an energetic mic moment, and saluted teammate Israel Adesanya sitting cageside.
