Derek Brunson was hoping to score his third straight first-round stoppage and he got it. Veteran Roan Carneiro was expected to be a tough opponent for him, but when the Brazilian over-committed on a wild right hand, he slipped and fell onto his side.

Brunson wasted no time and tore into Carneiro, who could only cover up. Finally, after dozens of unanswered blows, a few lefts got through the guard and badly hurt Roan, leaving referee Keith Peterson no choice but to stop it. The official time of the TKO came at 2:38 of the first.
