Leon Edwards def. Seth Baczynski via first-round KO
Leon Edwards and Seth Baczynski had themselves a vine fight (where the entire fight could fit in a vine), and it finished with Baczynski staring up at the lights from his back.
As if sensing he was involved in one of the worst UFC cards of all time, Edwards infused some much needed violence into the proceedings, sending Baczynski careening to the canvas with a perfectly-timed counter left seconds into the opening round.
From there it was academic, as Edwards landed a couple coffin nails before walking away while referee Grant Waterman moved in to stop the carnage.
Thank you, Leon Edwards. You almost single-handedly made the undercard worthwhile ... almost.
Edwards picked up the second fastest KO in UFC history. @DUANEBANGCOM is still tops with six seconds.

Bartosz Fabinski def. Garreth McLellan via unanimous decision
For fans looking for a fight where one man dominates another man with positionally-strong top control and very short elbows, has the fantastically-named Bartosz Fabinski got a style for you!
It's quite simple, really. Fabinski can wrestle, and his opponent, Garreth McLellan, is a horrible defensive wrestler. This basic fact led to three rounds of the Fabinski taking McLellan down at will (including a few big slams), and using his superior top game to grind out the South African for almost 15 straight minutes.
It wasn't pretty. Or very entertaining. But it was a smart way to grab a victory in your UFC debut.
This fight could last another 4 hours and it would be Fabinski elbowing a helpless McLellan.

Sergio Moraes def. Mickael Lebout via unanimous decision
Sergio Moraes didn't remember there was a fight today until midway through the bout, and apparently that was enough.
After looking listless against Mickael Lebout for much of the opening round and a half, Moraes, who was being picked apart on the feet at range, landed a stinging combination punctuated by a big overhand right, and used the opening it created to finally take the Frenchman down to the mat.
From there, the BJJ ace put his superior grappling to good use, dominating Lebout on the floor for most of the final frame, and, although it looked like a too little too late situation, all three judges ruled in the Brazilian's favor.
Yaotzin Meza def. Damian Stasiak via unanimous decision
In a bout that devolved into a glorified grappling match with occasional striking, Yaotzin Meza was the better man on the floor.
After Damain Stasiak likely took the opening round, Meza did work for the final 10 minutes, chaining together submission attempts as he hunted for multiple stoppages with a series of rear-naked chokes and arm-triangles.
Though Meza wasn't able to finish the bout, his superiority on the mat carried him to a clear unanimous decision victory.
