  • UFC welterweight Islam Dulatov posted a public offer to pay Brito $5,000 for the knockout and asked the winner to send his bank details.
  • Dana White praised the night and awarded six contracts from five fights, with matchmaker Sean Shelby convincing White to sign both Roman Gabriel Puga and Taner Trembley after their warlike featherweight bout.
