Fabricio Werdum beat Marcin Tybura by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Marcin Tybura had come in as the division's No. 12. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Jessica-Rose Clark beat Bec Rawlings after three rounds.
Across the 13 bouts that produced a result, two ended by knockout, one by submission and ten on the judges' scorecards — three stoppages in 13 fights. Four of the ten decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Tai Tuivasa, who stopped Rashad Coulter at 4:35 of round one, and one of the three finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Ryan Benoit's knockout of Ashkan Mokhtarian, 12 minutes and 38 seconds in. End to end, the 13 fights filled three hours and 4 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: three of its seven results came early, against no of the six above it. Ryan Benoit (knockout, round three), Nik Lentz (submission, round two) and Tai Tuivasa (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Three ranked fighters appeared, among them champion Alexander Volkanovski.
