Buckley winning Performance of the Night was the clear prop of the night at +1400.

Cory Sandhagen utilized his length to frustrate Marlon Moraes, injure his orbital, and then finish him after connecting with a spinning wheel kick in the second round. Sandhagen’s second round finish was good for a sweet +1000.
3) Ilia Topuria by Decision (+850)
Ilia Topuria didn’t let the bright lights of the Octagon faze him in his UFC debut as he rose to the occasion and took the fight to Youssef Zalal, winning two of the three rounds to earn a unanimous decision. Topuria by decision closed at a cool +850.
4) Chris Daukaus wins in Round One (+735)
Many wrote off Chris Daukaus against the dangerous grappler Rodrigo Nascimento, but Daukaus pressured the Brazilian, dropped him early, then finished him by violent knockout when he got back to his feet. Daukaus in round one paid +735.
5) Tom Breese wins in Round One (+505)
Many weren’t sure how Tom Breese was going to look coming off a stoppage loss in his last fight, but he answered his critics with an impressive striking display, sniping KB Bhullar from distance, then dropping him with a jab to earn a first round TKO. Breese in round one closed at +505.
