Saturday's Fight Night Live event was pretty action packed, and the main event did not disappoint. Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson utilized his power and strong kicks to finish off opponent Brenneman, while Pat Barry was forced to submit to Stephen Struve after attempting a slam when trapped in a Triangle.
For the main event, Dominic Cruz and Demetrious Johnson went for the full 25 minutes of their scheduled rounds, although Cruz was mostly in control for the first three. Johnson was very keen on taking the fight to Cruz, which seemed to surprise him as he began to slow down just a notch. 
He attempted a rear-naked choke on Johnson, but Johnson was able to get out of it. But Cruz is a great champion. He was able to perform two slams on Johnson and utilized his reach advantage to keep Johnson on the outside for the remainder of the fight. Cruz was able to hold off the great contender and won by unanimous decision, which means all three judges scored in his favor.
