Regardless of the pressure, the 27-year-old looked calm and collected. The opening moments of the fight did prove to be problematic for him, as one of the opening shots hurt him and forced him to the mat. He'd recover and hit a beautiful toss that ultimately led to a rear-naked choke submission.

Rodrigo Vargas' tap started a party. Pimblett and his team began celebrating. Singing, dancing and the fans drinking ensued. Beers were tossed all over as the crowd witnessed this rising-star let his talent shine. Pimblett's submission was one of the brightest moments of the whole event.

#1. Molly McCann

Not only is Molly McCann's spinning back elbow the top finish from the UFC's recent trip to London, but this is irrefutably a "Knockout of the year" contender. 'Meatball' fights out of Liverpool, so it's not hard to see why the crowd was ecstatic the moment her walkout music came on.

The excitement transferred over to the fight itself seamlessly, as McCann immediately put it on Luana Carolina. As the third round began, Carolina was starting to find some success in a fight that she was losing.

The newfound success didn't last long. As 'Dread' framed off of McCann, she left herself vulnerable to a concluding elbow. This most recent UFC Fight Night was packed with exciting stoppages, but 'Meatball' Molly McCann's was by far the best.
