The UFC returned to Louisville, KY for just the second time on Saturday night with a UFC Fight Night card that went down at the city’s KFC Yum! Center.

UFC News: Nassourdine Imavov Wins Louisville Main Event by Controversial Finish

The main event was huge middleweight bout featuring former title challenger Jared Cannonier and #7-ranked contender Nassourdine Imavov. “Killa Gorilla” entered the night at #4 in the middleweight rankings, but the 40-year-old's hopes of another title shot were derailed when Imavov won their fight via controversial stoppage in the fourth round.

The night’s co-main event was a light heavyweight matchup between #15-ranked Dominick Reyes and Dustin Jacoby. Reyes’ controversial loss to Jon Jones at UFC 247 kicked off what eventually became a four-fight skid, but after taking some time off "The Devastator" snapped that losing streak when he brutally stopped Jacoby in the first round.

The rest of the main card included some sensational finishes such as Brunno Ferreira's spinning back elbow against Dustin Stoltzfus. Raul Rosas Jr. also picked up the third win of his UFC career when he submitted Ricky Turcios, and arguably the most impressive finish of the night came when Zach Reese stopped Julian Marquez in just 20 seconds.
