Adlan Amagov defeated Chris Spang by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Tor Troeng defeated Adam Cella by 1st rd Guillotine Submission
- The Swede made it look very easy against fellow TUF 17 fighter Adam Cella. Tor Troeng took the fight to the ground and setup the submission with the ground and pound.
Reza Madadi defeated Michael Johnson by 3rd rd D’arce choke Submission
- Fun fight to close out the Facebook prelims and early candidate for FOTN. Johnson nearly knocked out Madadi in the opening round with a big knee but it was near the end of the round and the fan favorite survived. Madadi took over after clearing the haze with his wrestling and submission game.

Akira Corassani defeated Robert Peralta by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
- Both fighters were nearly knocked out in this fight but Akira controlled things with his footwork, striking and timely takedowns.
Diego Brandao defeated Pablo Garza by 1st rd Arm-Triangle Choke Submission

Brad Pickett defeated Mike Easton by Split Decision (28-29, 30-27, 30-27)
- Not sure about the 30-27′s because the was a really good exciting fight. Pickett really mixed it up, using not only his power but the takedowns as well to earn the decision.
Matt Mitrione defeated Philip De Fries by 1st rd KO
- De Fries missed on his first takedown attempt and when he tried it again he ran into a wall called Matt Mitrione. De Fries ended up on his back with Mitrione pummeling him until the fight was over just 19 second into the fight.
Ross Pearson defeated Ryan Couture by 2nd rd TKO
- Couture used lots of movement, his jab and the clinch to win round one but in that round never really hurt Pearson. Couture continued to do the same in round two but once he made a mistake Pearson capitalized on it and finished him with a flurry against the cage.
Gegard Mousasi defeated Llir Latifi by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
- After Mousasi stuffed the first takedown attempt from Latifi he went into full jab mode for the entire fight. Mousasi made the face of Latifi look like hamburger meat when that jab and coasted to his first win inside the Octagon.
