UFC on FOX 29 took place April 14th from The Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. In the night's Main Event, Dustin Poirier scored a fourth round TKO of Justin Gaethje in an exciting fight that saw both fighters having their moments. Very early in round four, Poirier hurt him and Gaethje chose not to try and clinch or take it down allowing Poirier to tee off till the fight was stopped. Afterwards, Poirier asked for a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov. In women's action, Lauren Mueller made her UFC debut a successful one taking a decision for Shana Dobson. The bout was even heading to the third but Mueller was able to take round three and the fight. Also, Michelle Waterson won a split decision from local favorite Cortney Casey. Casey was noticeably bigger than Waterson and tried to use that to her advantage while Waterson used her speed. While most media members seemed to disagree, the judges gave the fight to The Karate Hottie. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
