UFC returned to the Apex for another Fight Night with all-time welterweight wins leader Neil Magny taking on rising 170-pounder Carlos Prates in the five-round main event.
Just three of Saturday's bouts went the distance, with Prates' first-round knockout of Magny providing a fitting end to the evening.
The anticipated debut of former two-weight ONE champion Reinier de Ridder was set for the co-main event in his first UFC appearance against the middleweight division’s all-time submission leader Gerald Meerschaert.
Also on the main card, recent Contender Series contract winners Mansur Abdul-Malik and Cortavious Romious made their UFC debuts alongside Canadian-born Gillian Robertson, who looked to keep rolling in the strawweight division.
