It was one of the most hyped and mainstream events in UFC history and it didn't disappoint. Jones dominated Evans. Big Ben Rothwell sent Schaub into another dimension. Travis Browne showed his versatility with a clean flying double-knee and then Sub. A wicked uppercut KO of Torres by McDonald as well.
