Elsewhere, Charles Oliveira garnered the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his first-round submission of Jim Miller in featured lightweight clash. “Do Bronx” secured a body-lock takedown at the outset, moved to his foe’s back and locked in a rear-naked choke at the 1:15 mark of round one. Oliveira’s 12 submission victories are a UFC record.
Finally, Joaquim Silva and Jared Gordon earned “Fight of the Night” and $50,000 apiece for their spirited preliminary clash at 155 pounds. While Gordon had Silva reeling early, the Brazilian had the last laugh. In the third round, Silva rocked Gordon with a right hand and polished off his reeling foe with punches against the fence at the 2:39 mark of the period.
