Those in attendance and watching on pay-per-view witnessed Amanda Nunes dethrone Miesha Tate and take the women's bantamweight title in the fight card's featured bout. They also saw former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar get a win over Mark Hunt in his Octagon return, Cormier defeat late replacement Anderson Silva, and Jose Aldo earn the interim featherweight championship by outlasting Frankie Edgar.
