The UFC closed out 2024 early with a final stop at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on December 14.
In the main event, Joaquin Buckley continued his winning streak at welterweight by stopping Colby Covington in the third round.
In a strong performance from "New Mansa", he opened up a cut above the right eye of the former interim welterweight champion which forced the doctor to wave off the fight.
Several knockouts stole the show and won performance bonuses throughout the card including three in a row on the main card.
Dustin Jacoby turned things around to finish Vitor Petrino in the third round whilst at flyweight, Manel Kape reminded everyone what he's capable of by putting on a show and finishing Bruno Silva in the third.
Fight of the night honours went to the co-main event which Cub Swanson ended with a ruthless third round one-shot knockout over Billy Quarantillo.
Michael Johnson, as well as Jacoby, earned a performance bonus for his fight-ending punch against Ottman Azaitar in the second round.
