In the co-main event, Nate Diaz was able to outpoint Anthony Pettis.

Following the event, the California State Athletic Commission announced the fighter payouts from the event with a total payroll of more than $3.3 million.

Stipe Miocic led the way with a $750,000 pay day, while Cormier earned $500,000. Diaz made $250,000 in his return from a three-year layoff with no win bonus, while Pettis made $155,000 in the loss.
