In the main event Welterweight Gael Grimaud made quick work of Bruno Carvalho defeating him by KO at just :45 of round 1.

The UFC made its return to England for UFC Fight Night 30. Light Heavyweight Jimi Manuwa defeated Ryan Jimmo in bizarre fashion at 4:41 of round 2.

Lightweight Melvin Guillard landed a knee to the head of Ross Pearson when he was a "grounded opponent" thus causing the fight to be declared a no contest.
