The UFC formally announced the bout shortly after Yahoo Sports first broke the news.

Murphy and Tate fought a competitive fight, but the damage on their faces would suggest otherwise.

Tate dropped to 19-9 and is 1-2 overall since returning from a five-year-long retirement. Murphy also appeared to break Tate's orbital bone as "Cupcake" dealt with bad swelling and a cut under her right eye. Lauren Murphy is far from finished with the UFC women's flyweight elite.

Here is what fans had to say with regards to Miesha Tate's debut in the UFC Women's Flyweight division against Lauren Murphy.

Some however would praise the former UFC champion, with one fan saying that she gives it all to the end: “Miesha Tate is tough as nails. She is taking major damage and bleeding like Ric Flair, but she always gives 100% until the end. Another fan was not happy that ‘Cupcake’ had her children in attendance for the fight, tweeting: Not happy seeing Miesha Tate fighting the way she was.

Yair Rodriguez got an important victory in the UFC on ABC 3 headliner, but it wasn't necessarily the statement he wanted to make.

Tate continued to march forward until the final horn but was unable to impose her will in the clinch or at range. A measured opening stanza saw “The Leech” able to avoid Salikhov’s toolbox of spinning kicks, but the Dagestani did secure a takedown in the frame to gain a slight advantage. “The Leech” picked up the pace in Round 2, causing swelling under his foe’s eye with a stiff jab before slipping a punch and sending Salikhov (18-3, 5-2 UFC) stumbling backward with a massive right hand. Fortis MMAproduct rallied from the brink of defeat to submit Mudaerji in an action-packed flyweight showcase. In a matchup that was billed as a striker’s delight, Burgos (15-3, 8-3 UFC) set himself apart through his grappling. The time of the stoppage was the 4:38 mark of Round 2, allowing the Strikeforcechampion en route a unanimous decision triumph in a 125-pound feature. The former title challenger was at a loss to explain what had just transpired in the immediate aftermath. Jourdain (13-5-1, 4-4-1 UFC) has a modest two-bout winning streak halted in defeat. “T-City” landed a takedown late in the period, and that’s when Rodriguez attempted to frame an armbar from his back. Rodriguez found success landing straight punches and a variety of kicks during exchanges, while Ortega looked to pressure his adversary and close the distance. I guess I did but not the way I wanted.”

So in its maiden voyage at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., the UFC put together a roster of 14 ranked fighters for nine bouts of a 12-bout show. The "Fight Night" ...

"We knew we were going to get in each other's ass, and I got there first," Jacoby said. "I think he got tired from beating on me, and I was able to capitalize," he said. Schnell pounced, landing several strikes and getting his man to the floor, where he landed a series of particularly brutal elbows that left his rival with a ghastly cut. But it wasn't enough to dissuade Jingliang, who was aggressive and active after a close first round. "I thought I had the first two rounds, but that body triangle killed my legs. He then immediately went to the ground in pain. B/R's combat sports team was in place as well to digest the daytime drama and put together a list of its winners and losers. And I know we would have." Ortega was unable to continue after suffering an apparent right shoulder injury during a non-submission tie-up on the mat. But it's part of the game." Clearly defeating the No. 2 fighter in the weight class would have elevated him into a title fight opportunity. "I think it was a very tight fight, and I already told him we can run it back any time," Rodriguez said.

One moment, Brian Ortega was bringing the fight into his world. The next moment, Yair Rodriguez was celebrating.

Both men expressed interest in a rematch after the unusual finish. The injury interrupted what had been a fast start on the feet followed by several minutes of more labored clinch work. “And I think in the moment he was trying to get the arm out from there, I saw him doing a face and was like, OK, something happened.”

'He's not human': Absolute 'animal' stuns UFC with 'crazy' comeback in bloody beating.

I had him close to being out, tough kid. I knew I could put him away. “I knew I could do it.

On the UFC on ABC 3 main card, Yair Rodriguez defeated Brian Ortega due to an injury TKO, and Amanda Lemos stopped Michelle Waterson-Gomez by submission.

Murphy blasted a takedown, and scored a couple of punches before Tate scrambled up to her feet. Neither fighter was willing to concede the takedown, so the match resumed on the feet. With about a minute to go, Michelle realized a takedown in the center of the cage, but was only able to land one punch before getting swept as the round ended. Back in open space, there was a lot of measuring and moving around going on, coupled with a lot of missing going on. Tate started to pump her jab to back off the aggression, and Murphy then shot in for a takedown. It was starting to look bad for Burgos, but he managed to clinch up on the back to stop the onslaught. Michelle honorably admitted to tapping out and the match was over. It was a mother right hand that dropped Muslim, and some ground and pound sealed the deal. The UFC’s #9 rated 125-pounder, Matt Schnell, rallied through allllll the adversity to put the #12 rated, Sumudaerji, to sleep with a triangle in the second round. The referee was on the wrong side to see the tap, but good sportsmanship prevailed as Lemos unlocked the hold, and Waterson-Gomez admitted defeat. The opening act was a bit pedestrian, but Li hurt Salikhov with a massive right in the second, and refused to let him off the hook. The finish came as Waterson-Gomez shot in for a single leg and Lemos defended it, and then jumped right onto a guillotine.
