1) Gillian Robertson wins in Round Three (+1400)

That all ended when Robertson tapped Casey with less than 30 seconds remaining in the fight. Robertson wins in round three was the clear prop of the night at +1400.
2T) Justin Jaynes by KO/TKO (+750)

Jaynes’ first round victory was good for +650.
2T) Jim Miller wins in Round One (+750)

4) Austin Hubbard by KO/TKO (+630)
Austin Hubbard wasn’t given much of a chance against UFC newcomer Max Rohskopf, but Hubbard countered Rohskopf’s early takedowns and aggressive with heavy combinations and poured on the punishment in a brutal round two. Hubbard was awarded a TKO via retirement when Rohskopf failed to answer the bell to begin the third round. Hubbard by KO/TKO paid +630.
5) Curtis Blaydes by Decision (+550)
Many thought that with five rounds to work, Curtis Blaydes would surely score a ground and pound TKO against rangy Russian Alexander Volkov in the main event, but Blaydes was content to score takedowns and conserved his energy as he began to tire, instead earning a unanimous decision. Blaydes by decision closed at +550.
