Jasmine Jasudavicius beat Erin Blanchfield in the UFC Edmonton co-main event. All three judges scored the women's flyweight bout 29-28 in her favour. Cageside Press called it an upset in which Jasudavicius dominated Blanchfield on the ground – it was the only one of the night's 13 fights to go the distance.
