UFC Fight Night 135 took place August 25th from The Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. In the Main Event, after a lengthy social media battle, Justin Gaethje and James Vick finally squared off. Violence was expected and was delivered in the form of a Just Gaethje knock out very early in the first round. Vick landed a body kick that seemed to do some damage, but besides that, it was Gaethje just closing the distance before finally landing. In women's action, Joanna Calderwood defeated Kalindra Faria in round one. Faria seemed in control for about the first four minutes of the round and got it to the ground. While Faria seemed in total control, Calderwood looked for a triangle and then finally got an armbar for the tap with just seconds to go in the round. Also, Cortney Casey won a razor thin decision from Angela Hill in an exciting fight. All three rounds were close with both fighters having moments of success on the feet but in the end, two of the three judges sided with Casey. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
