Historic UFC Records Set
Promotional Records Established at UFC Fight Night: Benavidez vs. Figueiredo
The flyweight championship remained vacant despite a definitive finish because Deiveson Figueiredo weighed in 2.5 lbs over the 125-pound title limit, making him ineligible to capture the championship.
Figueiredo vs. Benavidez became only the third scheduled title fight in modern promotional history where a competitor missed weight and rendered the title unobtainable for himself (following Travis Lutter and Yoel Romero).
Magomed Ankalaev’s 38-second stoppage over Ion Cutelaba was among the fastest light heavyweight finishes of 2020 and triggered intense regulatory review after Cutelaba protested playing possum on his feet.
Megan Anderson’s one-punch knockout of Norma Dumont at 3:31 of Round 1 tied the UFC Women’s Featherweight record for the most knockout finishes in divisional history (2).
Jordan Griffin pulled off only the third standing/inverted guillotine choke technical submission in modern Octagon history, rendering TJ Brown unconscious in round 2.
Spike Carlyle made an explosive promotional entrance, blitzing Aalon Cruz in just 1 minute and 25 seconds of the opening frame via ground-and-pound punches.
Kyler Phillips landed 89 significant strikes against Gabriel Silva, which set one of the highest strike totals for a debuting bantamweight in modern promotional history.
Marcin Tybura controlled Serghei Spivac on the canvas for 8 minutes and 24 seconds, setting a personal Octagon best for dominant top positioning in a 3-round bout.
Philadelphia standout Sean Brady extended his unblemished professional MMA record to 12-0 (2-0 UFC) by racking up 8 minutes and 4 seconds of ground control over Ismail Naurdiev.
Brendan Allen secured his second consecutive first-round finish inside the Octagon, overwhelming British middleweight Tom Breese with elbows and punches at 4:47 of Round 1.
The event marked the promotion’s second historic event at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, welcoming 7,098 spectators and generating $402,958 at the live box office.
Luis Peña logged 13 minutes and 42 seconds of total control against short-notice newcomer Steve Garcia, controlling an extraordinary 91.3% of the 15-minute contest.
