The UFC’s first trip to Albuqueque, N.M. was certainly a memorable one as Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 42 event from Tingley Coliseum was filled with knockouts, submissions, questionable decisions and much more.

Former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) was one of the top performers of the show as he submitted Rustam Khabilov(17-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the fourth round of the main event to snap a four-year drought without a finish.

“Smooth” previously held a dubious record for earning his first eight UFC victories by decision. However, he made sure to avoid raising the bar on the record by finally putting an opponent away inside the octagon.

The victory was one of many on the night that marked some sort of historical significance. To see how the rest break down, here are 40 post-fight facts about UFC Fight Night 42.
