Elsewhere, Millender made his Octagon debut in style, scoring a second-round knockout of former title challenger Thiago Alves in a featured welterweight bout to garner the evening’s other “Performance of the Night” bonus. The ex-Bellator talent nearly finished his opponent in the opening stanza before dispatching “Pitbull” with a knee to the jaw 4:17 into round two.
Finally, Davis and Peterson captured “Fight of the Night” honors for their three-round featherweight duel. Punching and kicking combinations proved to be the difference for Davis, who put his adversary on wobbly legs with a knee in the third round. While Peterson stayed in the fight throughout, it was Davis who emerged with a unanimous decision triumph.
