Brendan Allen, Louisiana's finest, snagged the biggest win of his career and will find himself inside the top five of the UFC's middleweight division. He broke down Reinier de Ridder and derailed the hype train that the Dutch middleweight created by beating Bo Nickal and Robert Whittaker. Brendan Allen deserves credit for doing so, but there's no two ways about it, Reinier de Ridder QUIT!

Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott was NUTS! Marred by a low blow, Mike Malott notched his career best win and saw it undone by the low blow. We may not remember the low blow his next fight but for now, Mike Malott is suffering from winning but not really. Kevin Holland had every chance to get a no contest. Instead he was the warrior and suffered a warrior's defeat, by having his bag smashed in.

Chito Vera dropped his third straight fight and he has nobody to blame but himself. His career has regressed to a point of inactivity where he cannot pull the trigger. Despite dropping Aiemann Zahabi, Chito Vera couldn't pull the trigger to find the shots needed to win the fight. Aiemann Zahabi wins another fight after being dropped badly. Chito Vera loses his fourth in five fights.
