Nassourdine Imavov defeated Jared Cannonier via a controversial 4th-round TKO at UFC Louisville. The stoppage by referee Jason Herzog, perceived by many as an early stoppage, has been widely debated. Imavov supported the decision, stating that Cannonier had already taken a lot of damage, while Cannonier expressed that he felt the fight was taken from him and has called for a rematch in Paris. The bout was competitive throughout the first few rounds. In other notable outcomes, Dominick Reyes secured his first win in nearly five years, defeating Dustin Jacoby, and later successfully appealed to Dana White for a performance bonus. Raul Rosas Jr. and Carlos Prates were among the four performance bonus winners, with Prates notably learning of his $50,000 bonus while smoking a post-fight cigarette.
