Aldo entered Saturday night's bout as the underdog but managed to consistently hurt Font throughout the five-round clash. The Brazilian veteran had a slow start as Font landed the crisper strikes early on. However, Aldo connected with a massive right hand, dropping Font in the first round. From there, Aldo never looked back as he increased his lead throughout the ensuing rounds.

In the co-main event, former training partners-turned-opponents Rafael Fiziev and Brad Riddell battled it out as they aimed to move up the UFC lightweight rankings. Both fighters kept things technical in the first round as they patiently picked their shots to get a read on each other.

MY WORD!
