Here are the results from tonight’s WSOF 19 card, which saw Justin Gaethje defend his lightweight title, by stopping Luis Palomino in the third round. The bout is widely being heralded as a “fight of the year” candidate.

The event, which took place in Phoenix, Arizona, also saw UFC vet Thiago Silva get taken out by light-heavyweight Teddy Holder. The latter was a late replacement for Matt Hamill, who fell ill on Saturday and was unable to compete in the light-heavyweight tourney’s opening round.
