Fremd submitted Joel Bauman in the second round. Dulgarian won the featherweight title when he finished TeeJay Britton for his fifth straight first-round finish.

But perhaps the most impressive finish of the night came courtesy of former Bellator champ Eduardo Dantas, who finished Dana White’s Contender Series alum Jose Alday with a thunderous head kick knockout. There has been no official word on whether or not Dantas was offered a UFC contract.

For this event, White was joined by YouTube stars The Nelk Boys, who offered one fighter a brand sponsorship from their merchandise line Full Send. The fighter they picked has not yet been announced.
