In the main event of the card Jose Aldo was set to defend his UFC featherweight championship against then-undefeated Chad Mendes in what many expected to be a grueling fight that saw Mendes using his wrestling to negate the striking of Aldo.
Ultimately, Aldo ended up picking up a highlight reel 1st round KO as he landed a beautiful knee that left Mendes dazed and confused on the canvas.
