Aldrich resets, steps back inside to land the right again, but this time Jeon snipes back with a jab. Jeon lands a leg kick, tries to come forward on Aldrich but walks into a straight left, and now it's Aldrich's turn to move forward again. Halfway through the final round, it remains an all-standup affair, with neither woman looking to take the fight to the floor. A hook kick slaps the face of Jeon, who just smiles a bloody smile and waves for Aldrich to come forward.

Round 1

Moraga opens with a low kick, circles left for a minute and then sprawls on the first shot attempt from Mokhtarian. "Chicano John" wraps up the UFC newcomer with a tight guillotine choke and drops to guard, where it looks as if he will be able to get the submission. Mokhtarian somehow stays conscious and powers back to his feet with his head still wrapped up by Moraga's left arm. Moraga finally releases the choke, now nearly halfway through the opening round, and the flyweights clinch on the fence. The 125ers jockey for position on the cage before separating. Mokhtarian shoots again and is sprawled on by Moraga, who this time moves to take the Australian's back. Mokhtarian defends a brief rear-naked choke attempt but absorbs some hard elbows to the face. Moraga defends a brief leglock attempt and comes back to fit Mokhtarian for another guillotine, now with one minute remaining. Moraga quickly gives up the choke in favor of ground-and-pound, and now he's slamming Mokhtarian with hard elbow strikes to the side of the head.

Moraga passes to side control on the right, now leans across the body to work a submission on Mokhtarian's left arm. Mokhtarian does well to defend another armbar attempt from the American, getting to his knees, but Moraga puts him in danger again with a modified guillotine attempt. Mokhtarian frees his head as he drops back to the ground, and now Moraga passes to full mount once again. Ninety seconds left as Mokhtarian remains stranded on the mat, Moraga swarming him with ground-and-pound. Referee Marc Goddard is looking on from nearby as Mokhtarian continues to absorb damage. Mokhtarian gives up his back but winds up on his side, with Moraga straddling him and delivering elbows, now punches.

Steele loses his footing for a split second, pops back to his feet and digs double underhooks to slow Jumeau's assault and trap him on the fence. Jumeau reverses to the outside and stomps on Steele's right foot, then drives a knee to the American's midsection. Steele answers with his own knee to the gut before reversing Jumeau again.

Hirota clings to Volkanovski's legs as the Australian follows him to the ground, teeing off with punches and elbows. Volkanovski doesn't get the stoppage, so he stands up and tries to adjust his position. The prone Hirota grabs for a leg, forcing Volkanovski to back up and allowing the Sengoku veteran to stand up. Volkanovski quickly resets the clinch, this time releasing to hit Hirota with a spinning elbow.

Round 1

England's Marc Goddard is the referee for tonight's heavyweight main event, with judges Howie Booth, Barry Foley and Charlie Keech scoring at cageside. A slow opening minute sees Hunt trying to work his way inside on the taller man, while Lewis fends off the heavy-handed striker with kicks to the lead leg and body. Hunt keeps pressing out from the center, backing up Lewis to the fence, and finally the "Super Samoan" lunges in to connect with a sweeping left hand. Lewis has a pair of head kicks bounce off Hunt's right shoulder, then backpedals away when Hunt threatens to throw hands again. Hunt is feinting now and getting Lewis to bite. Lewis misses on another left high kick but pops Hunt with an uppercut behind it. Hunt steps in with an overhand right, sprawls on a shot from Lewis and hits the "Black Beast" with an uppercut.

Hunt takes a finger to the right eye from the outstretched hand of Lewis, but the Kiwi says he's good to continue. Hunt whiffs as he steps into the pocket with a big overhand right, but it's Lewis landing a counter right hook that backs up the K-1 vet. Lewis continues to fire kicks at the head of the shorter man, this time pulling up just short with a switch kick. Hunt, meanwhile, resumes walking Lewis around the perimeter, still landing leg kicks as they enter the last two minutes of the round. Lewis eats a right hand and starts to circle away, and Hunt lunges after him with another big right hand. Lewis looks to have cleared the cobwebs before Hunt can capitalize on the sequence, and now Lewis is scoring with counter right hands as Hunt marches after him. Hunt pops Lewis with a few more punches, then appears to think the round is over and turns to walk away. As he's called back by referee Goddard, Lewis nearly lands a left high kick, but Hunt dodges it and finishes the round with another combination at the fence.

Round 3

Lewis' hands are hanging low as he circles to his right in the opening minute of round three. Hunt stays measured, walking down the "Black Beast," always keeping Lewis on the outside. Lewis appears to poke Hunt in the eye again, but there's no complaint from Hunt. An uppercut scores for Lewis, but his follow-up punches go wanting as Hunt ducks and dips away. Hunt comes forward again, deflecting a lead uppercut from Lewis, who is suddenly looking very tired. Lewis gets Hunt to back up with a partially landed left hook, but "Hunto" is soon on the advance again. Hunt lands a leg kick, sticks a jab, now midway through the round and possibly the fight. Lewis tries to push Hunt away with a front kick, then shoots for a double and gets brushed aside by the local favorite. Lewis blocks an overhand right but comes away from the exchange with his hands on his hips.

Hunt follows him from the middle, looking to land a big right hand, but Lewis continues to evade the power punches. Hunt lands a heavy leg kick, flashes a jab and comes over the top with a right hand. Lewis backs up Hunt momentarily with a tired left hand, but Hunt comes straight back with a body punch. Lewis looks to be struggling just to remain vertical as he stumbles backward around the edge of the cage. Hunt catches him with a big right hand to the jaw but lets Lewis off the hook with no follow-up offense. Lewis tries a last-dich leaping knee and right hand, comes up short and has to back up to the wall again. Hunt starts to unload with uppercuts and elbows as Lewis covers up and doubles over. Referee Goddard is telling Lewis to fight back, but Lewis is clearly finished, offering no intelligent defense, and the fight is stopped. Mark Hunt collects a fourth-round technical knockout of Derrick Lewis before an ecstatic New Zealand crowd.
