Weaver got in the underhooks for the guillotine and squeezed hard for a tap but Vargas survived by releasing the pressure.

They got back up on their feet and Weaver looked for a Kimura. He abandoned it before getting kneed hard in the face while he was down.

The referee pulled Vargas away as the knee on a downed opponent was illegal according to the rules. That was the most unfortunate of endings you'd ever see!

Result: Brok Weaver def. Rodrigo Vargas via DQ (Illegal knee) (4:02, Round 1)

Weaver got a win on his UFC debut but it wasn't the victory that he would be too proud about. Vargas would be even more annoyed with himself to give the fight away due to an illegal move. The UFC may run this one back again.
