El californiano Dominick Cruz (21-1) venció al exmonarca TJ Dillashaw (12-3) para conquistar la corona de peso gallo de UFC en la cartelera de UFC on FOX la noche del domingo en Boston. Cruz ganó por decisiones de los jueces de 48-47, 46-49, 49-46.

En un resultado inesperado, el excampeón de peso ligero Anthony Pettis (18-4) cayó por decisión dividida de 29-28, 28-29 y 29-28 ante Eddie Álvarez (27-4).

También, Travis Browne (18-3-1) derrotó a Matt Mitrione (9-4) por nocaut en tres asaltos en peso pesado. Mitrione terminó con el ojo derecho hinchado, producto de un par de piquetes de ojo de Browne, a quien le dedujeron un punto. La poca visibilidad de Mitrione en el ojo fue muy importante en su derrota.

Además, Francisco Trinaldo (19-4) venció a Ross Pearson (20-10) por decisión unánime de 30-27, 29-28 y 30-27 en peso ligero. Fue la quinta victoria al hilo para Trinaldo.
