The fight was over at the 3:02 mark of the middle frame after referee Neil Swales stepped in to save Pearson, who needed just one hammerfist to the face to go completely out after the concussion of the knee.

If Hooker had laid a trap for Pearson with the shot up the middle, he did so brilliantly. Up until that point, he'd mostly shown the Brit a persistent jab and a hard leg kick, which began to leave its mark by the end of the first round.

Down in height and reach, Pearson's job from the outset was simple: get inside. And he did so fairly well, shuffling to the side to score with left hooks and shovel punches that reddened Hooker's nose. Although Pearson's leg appeared to receive the worst of the damage, he was still very much in the fight until the sudden shift in momentum.

But in the second round, Hooker began to experiment with a straight right, tracking Pearson's movement inside. That turned out to be a precursor to the fight-ending sequence. Pearson was caught totally off-guard by the shot and dropped to the canvas.

New Zealand native Hooker gets back to the win column in front of a home crowd, though a win streak eludes him; since his 2014 debut, he's alternated between wins and losses.

Pearson's loss is likely to invite serious career reflection, if not a contractual crossroads. “The Ultimate Fighter 9” winner is 1-5 in his past six outings after his fourth consecutive loss.

A lead uppercut was the first big score for Pichel, which may have explained Brown's sudden charge forward. The comeback wound up being his undoing.

Fighting in front of his home crowd, Jumeau came in with some pressure behind him for his UFC debut. Early on he seemed as if he might succumb to the UFC jitters, as Steele took him down and controlled him on the mat enough to snag the first round on the scorecards.

But Jumeau would rebound in the second, briefly dropping Steele with a right hand behind the ear, then fending off his takedown attempts from the clinch once Steele got desperate to get the fight back to the mat.

Jumeau managed to launch a more sustained offensive assault in the final frame, battering Steele with more right hands and hard uppercuts, putting punches together in a way that had Steele staggering around the cage late in the fight. Jumeau was again forced to deal with Steele's takedown attempts, which mostly succeeded in slowing the fight, but once he got his moments in open space Jumeau made the most of them.

Steele would hang on until the final horn, despite some iffy moments for him in late striking exchanges. Once the fight went to the scorecards, all three had it for Jumeau, who thanked his fellow New Zealanders for their support in an emotional post-fight speech.

With the victory in his UFC debut, Jumeau now has a seven-fight overall winning streak. Steele has lost three straight, and four of his last five.
