Elijah Smith put on a show destroying veteran Davey Grant in just 60 seconds of the first round. Smith’s win added to his growing highlight reel in the UFC, and he didn’t waste his opportunity on the mic after win.

Smith told the world, “I’m a free agent.” Urging the UFC to lock him up for future fights. It seems the UFC would be insane not to sign Smith. He also earned one of the Performance of the Night bonuses.

Austin Bashi needed 67 seconds to submit Carlos Calderon with a rear-naked choke, and Jose Henrique Souza knocked out Jonny Parsons in the opening round. Andre Petroski and Nina Nikolija Milosevic both closed the show with second-round TKOs.

In the co-main event, Tatiana Suarez took a unanimous decision over Virna Jandiroba at strawweight.
