He would then land a shot that would put Cirkunov down. A shot to the side of the head later, and the referee had no choice but to call it off.

Matheus Nicolau def. Manel Kape via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)
In a back and forth flyweight affair, Matheus Nicolau was able to secure a win against Manel Kape. Nicolau started off the first round in a big way, landing takedowns and single-leg kicks. Kape, however, would gain momentum in the second, hitting crisp shots and letting his hands go. Both would end up impressing in the third, but it was Nicolau who ended up getting his hands raised.

Darren Stewart and Eryk Anders fought to a no-contest via illegal knee (4:37, R1)
In a repeat of last week's Aljamain Sterling-Petr Yan fiasco, Darren Stewart and Eryk Anders fought to a no-contest. Stewart was hitting clean shots throughout the first and at one point looked like he was going to win. Anders, however, hit him with a knee by the cage. After consulting with UFC doctors, Stewart could not continue, resulting in no winner being announced.
