Photos: The best images from UFC Fight Night 107 with a bloody war and Pickett's retirement

UFC Fight Night 107 went down on Saturday in London, and despite being criticized in some circles for a lack of star power, the event wound up with some memorable moments.

In the main event, hometown favorite Jimi Manuwa (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) shut down Corey Anderson (9-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) with one swift left punch, then called for not only a title shot against the winner between light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson, but a boxing match, too.

In the co-feature, welterweight Gunnar Nelson (16-2-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) did what he does best when he dropped Alan Jouban (15-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC), then pounced on him for a perfect guillotine choke submission early in the second.

Most people may wind up remembering UFC Fight Night 107, though, for the retirement fight of London bantamweight Brad Pickett (25-14 MMA, 5-9 UFC). In front of his home fans, it looked like Pickett was about a minute away from going out with a victory – until Marlon Vera (9-3-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) caught him with a head kick. Instead of leaving his gloves in the center of the cage, Pickett left his trademark trilby hat.

UFC Fight Night 107 took place Saturday at The O2 in London. The entire card streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
