Kazama came forward recklessly, himself, but Nakamura landed first and never took his foot off the gas to win a contract as the bantamweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Jubli wore Saragih down, mounted him in the second round, then ground-and-pounded him until he got the stoppage and a UFC contract as the lightweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Serghei Spivac (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) absolutely wrecked Derrick Lewis (26-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC) without much resistance in the main event.
