LAS VEGAS – The only thing bigger than Jamie Varner’s nether regions were his fists in his UFC return.

After taking a late-replacement fight against the fast-rising Edson Barboza – a matchup most lightweights would avoid at all costs – the former WEC champion sacked up and pulled off one of the year’s biggest upsets.

Varner survived Barboza’s stinging leg kicks and used aggressive striking to earn a first-round win via TKO.
