Division: Middleweight
Referee: Mark Smith
Rodolfo Vieira made quick work of Petrosyan to pick up his fourth arm-triangle choke submission in the UFC.

Result: Michael Johnson def. Darrius Flowers via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).
Division: Lightweight

Despite a fast start from Darrius Flowers, Michael Johnson slowed the fight down and successfully outstruck Flowers across three rounds, mixing in his grappling in the second and third rounds, too.

Division: Middleweight
Referee: Mark Smith
A truly veteran-like performance, Hermansson fought a very disciplined fight against the upcoming prospect Joe Pyfer.
