Guillard and Miller took to the cage for the main event of the evening.

Guillard landed a jumping knee to the chest as Miller stalked him around the cage. Guillard dropped Miller with a left hook but Miller clinched up with Guillard and stayed in the fight. Guillard landed a knee to the chin from the clinch and separated. Miller clinched Guillard into the cage then broke away. Miller landed a cross to the body then a right hand to the chin. Guillard landed another jumping knee to the head, but Miller took him down. Miller passed to the full mount but Guillard escaped to his feet, Miller taking his back in a scramble and sinking in the Rear Naked Choke for the win. Replays showed that Guillard may have tapped due to the pressure on his jaw, as the choke was not under his chin.

The official end came 2:04 into the first round, giving Miller the submission victory.
