Steve Garcia def. Chase Hooper via TKO (punches) at 1:32 of RD1: Featherweight
Garcia came out like he had a point to prove. He continuously found a home for his left hand on the face of Hooper, dropping him four times over the short duration of the fight. Hooper didn’t back down, attempting to return fire, but he didn’t have enough oomph in his strikes to deter Garcia in the least. Herb Dean had seen enough after the final knockdown.

Cody Durden def. Carlos Mota via unanimous decision (29-28 x2, 30-27): Flyweight
It took a while for the action to heat up as outside of a knockdown about a minute in, the next 12 minutes consisted of Durden maintaining control of Mota on the mat. Mota got to his feet late and made an honest effort down the stretch, scoring some good offense, but it was too little, too late. Not the prettiest effort, but Durden picked up his second consecutive win.
Christian Rodriguez def. Joshua Weems via submission (anaconda choke) at 4:07 of RD1: Bantamweight
The fight opened with Rodriguez stalking Weems, landing the better strikes. Weems decided the fight wasn’t going his way and began to close the distance, clinching up and looking for takedowns. He did find some success, but Rodriguez kept finding his way back to his feet. On the final takedown, Rodriguez took a guillotine from the the bottom before transitioning to an anaconda choke for his first UFC win.
