To start off the main card in Atlanta, Georgia, LW Mark Bocek squared off against late replacement and UFC veteran John Alessio. As many expected, Bocek out-classed veteran Alessio, defeating him by unanimous decision after 3 rounds (30-27, 29-28, 30-27). In the next bout, FW's Mark Hominick and Eddie Yagin faced off. After an embarrassing loss in Canada in his last showing, Hominick wanted to make a good comeback. Unfortunately, Yagin felt no remorse, as he rocked Hominick left and right with big shots. Some feel the judges not should have been in favor of Canadian, but Yagin stole the victory via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). BW's Miguel Torres and up and comer Michael McDonald squared off in a bout that would secure McDonald's spot as a top contender. Just roughly 3 minutes into the opening frame, McDonald rocked the once #1 BW fighter Torres with hard shots, eventually finishing him on the ground. Expect McDonald to see a big opponent in his next fight.
In the third fight of the night, HW's Brendan Schaub and Ben Rothwell squared off in a bout that would end just roughly a minute into the bout. In the midst of some wild exchanges between the two, Rothwell rocked Schaub with a short uppercut, and followed up with some powerful GNP, winning the bout via KO. In the second bout of the night, contender and favorite Rory MacDonald squared off against well known striker Che Mills. For the entirety of the first and second round, MacDonald completely outclassed Mills, showing superiority on the feet and especially on the ground. About two minutes into the second frame, MacDonald defeated Mills via TKO.
In the main event, Jon Jones and Rashad Evans squared off for the Light Heavyweight Championship to squash their beef. The whole bout was mostly controlled by the champ Jones, as he showcased his superior striking ability. Rashad proved to be quick, agile, and strong, but he wasn't a good enough match for the champ. In the end, Jones defeated Evans via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 50-45)
