The Lightweight Champion proved his detractors wrong by clinically beating down Cowboy and finishing the bout in 1:06 in the very first round. It was what the doctor ordered in Anjos’ camp and he sure rose up to the occasion to deny Cerrone his destiny with a TKO (punches) victory.
In the co-main event of the evening, Junior Dos Santos made his much-anticipated return to the Octagon as he looked to settle old scores against fellow heavyweight Alister Overeem – both of whom have been involved in verbal tirades in the past.
Unfortunately for JDS, he looked out of place and was seen strolling around the Octagon without doing much damage to Reem. Overeem didn’t waste any time to drop JDS in the second round with a barrage of punches to announce himself as a title contender to be reckoned with.
Stockton bad boy, Nate Diaz added fuel to his claims for a title shot after he earned a unanimous decision victory over Michaels Johnson in a fun Lightweight Division bout.
