Paramount Network and Bellator have released highlights from the entire main card, which also included a convincing knockout win by top lightweight contender Patricky "Pitbull" Freire over Derek Campos.

- Former UFC champions Vitor Belfort and Lyoto Machida have verbally agreed to square off at UFC 224, MMA Fighting is reporting. The two will meet May 12 from the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.

Belfort (26-13) will be concluding his UFC contract with the fight and is expected to retire following a legendary career that includes wins over the likes of Luke Rockhold, Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping. Machida (23-8), a former light heavyweight champion like Belfort, snapped a three-fight losing skid earlier this month with a win over Eryk Anders via split decision.
