Frankie Edgar defeated Chad Mendes by KO (Punch, Round 1, 2:28)
Ferguson vs. Barboza was a fight of the year candidate.
MMAjunkie report that the event drew a gate of $450,000. No attendance figure were provided. Given that the arena holds perhaps 2,500 max, and that UFC Fight Night 80 the night before drew about 1,600 for a gate of $234,000, the 450k is a great showing.
