In the main event, middleweights Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori went the distance in an absolute war but in the end it was Vettori who grabbed the biggest win of his career by unanimous decision.
Jamahal Hill added another win to his undefeated record with a second-round TKO victory over veteran Ovince Saint Preux in the co-main event.
Below is how fighters reacted to the entire night of action in Las Vegas.
