Triple C was on hand to help Chael Sonnen narrate the event. Many online observers were reserved toward the commentary team.
One of the funniest moments of the night came when an internet observer noticed Cejudo brought his ‘big boy shoes’ for the occasion.
Another humorous moment came when former UFC fighter Rashad Evans appeared to lose his fight shorts for a brief moment.

Former UFC fighter Ray Borg was another stand out of the evening.
Now Borg answers with a spinning wheel kick to the head, gets taken down and reverses position!
