Hendricks closed the gap in the second by using his wrestling background to put Gastelum on the defensive. But Gastelum was able to fend off Hendricks attacks and regained the pace.

The final round saw Gastelum come out with a new sense of urgency. He fired multiple combinations with hands and kicks, while Hendricks rushed forwarded was able to push him against the fence for an eventually takedown. Gastelum popped up and as the clock wound down the two exchanges hands.

Not only did Gastelum beat Hendricks, but he took 20 percent of his winnings because Hendricks weigh in a quarter-pound over.
