The UFC returned to Indianapolis for the first time since UFC 119 with a headliner featuring two welterweights coming off losses who needed bounce-back wins in a big way.
Martin Kampmann and Carlos Condit faced one another for the first time since 2009 when Kampmann took home a split-decision win. Condit would avenge the loss at UFC Fight Night 27 with an impressive fourth-round TKO finish.
In the evening’s co-main event, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Raphael dos Anjos looked to cement their place among the upper level lightweights in the UFC. Dos Anjos looked good early as he dropped “Cowboy” with a big right hook, but Cerrone turned it on late to make things interesting.
In the end, it would be the Brazilian who picked up yet another victory, while Ceronne once again faltered against a top-10 opponent.
In other action on the card, former The Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum made a succesful welterweight debut, Takeya Mizugaki won an exciting split-decision victory over a returning Erik Perez, Court McGee used his pace to tire Robert Whitaker en route to a decision victory and Brad Tavares made it look easy for two of the three rounds against Bubba McDaniel.
