UFC ran a show on a rare Sunday night, competing against WWE FastLane, even more of a rarity. The show delivered for those who watched UFC Fight Night 83: Cowboy vs. Cowbey, and featured several quick finishes, and promising prospects.
Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone made quick work of Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira in his 170 pound debut, submitting Oliveira in under three minutes. Oliveira had won his last three UFC fights leading into the event.
Derek Brunson and Dennis Bermudez will both likely be moving up the rankings in their respective divisions, with each getting big wins. Prospect Cody Garbrandt also scored a TKO victory over late replacement Augusto Mendes. Ashlee Evans-Smith also won a controversial split-decision victory over #12-ranked women's bantamweight Marion Reneau.
