Canada's Jimmo knocked out Sean O'Connell on the TUF Nations Finale card in April, earning a Performance of the Night bonus, his first post-fight award since his seven-second knockout of Anthony Perosh in 2012. Winner of 12 of his last 13, including four straight, Saint Preux used an 89-second Von Flue choke finish of Nikita Krylov at UFC 171 in March to pick up his third UFC win and first Performance of the Night check.
