WHAT A BLOODY FIGHT

Lauren Murphy stops Kelly Faszholz in bloody war as Donald Cerrone returns to winning ways with first-round submission win at UFC Fight Night Pittsburgh

• Lauren Murphy TKO's UFC debutant Kelly Faszhold with five seconds left
• Faszhold stepped up on a few days notice and stunned Murphy in the first
• But Murphy left newcomer a bloody mess to claim her first UFC victory
• Donald Cerrone returned from lightweight title loss to submit Alex Oliveira
• Cerrone locked up his signature triangle to claim his fifth UFC tap-out win
• 
• Lauren Murphy stopped Kelly Faszholz with just seconds remaining in a bloody war before Donald Cerrone got back to winning ways on a wild night of fights in Pittsburgh.
  Faszholz, who took the fight on just a few days notice, almost made it three rounds in her UFC debut despite being battered by former Invicta champion Murphy in the action-packed preliminary fight.
  The newcomer, known for her jiu jitsu skills, even got the better of the striking in the first round before being overwhelmed by her more experienced competitor.

Murphy took control of the fight in the second, and in the third round - with just five seconds left until the final buzzer - the referee jumped in to save Faszholz from a barrage of strikes on the ground to hand the 32-year-old her first UFC win at the third attempt.

In the main event Cerrone looked dominant in his welterweight debut just two months after losing his UFC lightweight title fight with Rafael dos Anjos in 66 seconds.

Cerrone had talked up his fight with dangerous Brazilian Alex Oliveira as a stand-up war but instead went to his underrated grappling skills.
