Aoriqileng and Jay Perrin set the early bar for Fight of the Night honors in the second bout of the evening, cranking up the output down the stretch of an entertaining back-and-forth in the second fight of the night. When the tens and nines were tallied, Aoriqileng emerged victorious, securing his second consecutive UFC victory.

“The Mongolian Murderer” started strong, cracking Perrin with long, clean strikes in the first that sat the Lowell, Massachusetts native in a chair a couple different times, showcasing the power he carries now that he’s fighting at bantamweight. As the fight progressed, Aoriqileng’s gas tank started running low and Perrin began to have more success, controlling most of the final stanza in the clinch before the duo let it rip in the final 30 seconds.
