A fight card that looked rather unimpressive on paper delivered an ample amount of highlights, including a first-ever submission in the history of the UFC. Check out that and the rest of the highlights after the jump.
(Note the UFC continues to only post geo-blocked clips from their Spanish feed, so this post is a collection of those for American audiences, and a collection of other clips for those from outside the United States.)
Jessica Andrade def. Amanda Lemos via Submission (Standing Arm Triangle Choke) (Rd. 1 3:13)
Jessica Andrade is mostly known for her heavy hands, but she flipped the script and secured the very first standing arm-triangle choke in UFC history to get the submission victory in her return to strawweight. Amanda Lemos came out strong throwing heavy shots, but she got caught in the arm-triangle, and rather than using it to transition to the ground, Andrade is strong enough to just get the finish from there. Outstanding stuff, and an easy submission of the year contender.

Maycee Barber def. Montana De La Rosa via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
In a grinding fight that was almost entirely contested in the clinch or on the ground, Maycee Barber got the win over Montana De La Rosa. Barber showed increased aggression, and perhaps that her shift to Team Alpha Male was paying dividends.

Preston Parsons def. Evan Elder via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)
Preston Parsons completely dominated his fight against Evan Elder, spending the majority of the first two rounds in dominant positions, and threatened multiple submissions, especially an arm triangle. While Elder was largely dominated, he showed incredible heart, considering he was fighting up a division, and on less than a week's notice.

Mike Jackson def. Dean Barry via Disqualification (Eye Poke) (Rd. 1 3:52)
In a foul-filled fight that was nowhere near UFC calibre Mike Jackson picked up his first professional win via disqualification when Dean Barry was DQ'd for a brutal eye poke. Jackson showed almost nothing in the cage, but was kicked low twice, and then eye poked in order to get the win. This was one of the worst fights in UFC history, and there was no excuse for it being made. The only part of this fight that was worthwhile was Jackson's expletive-laden commentary while he lay on the mat recovering from his low-blow
