UFC on FOX 26 took place Saturday at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The main card aired on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Di Chirico (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) openly admitted his performance wasn’t that great to start the night, but he certainly finished with a flourish, landing a huge knee that left opponent Oluwale Bamgbose (6-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC) out cold on the canvas.

Taleb (14-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) didn’t waste any time in his contest with Danny Roberts (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC), setting a quick pace against Danny Roberts and ultimate landing a head kick and big right hand that finished the fight in just 59 seconds.

Meanwhile, Marquez (7-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Stewart (7-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) also went at it from the opening bell, often putting aside any attempt at defense in favor of standing in the pocket and slugging away. Ultimately, it was grappling that would end the fight, as Marquez was able to lock in a guillotine choke and put Stewart to sleep, ending a thrilling affair.
