In the Week 5 main event, light heavyweight Quentin Pasley improved his record to 4-0 by defeating Arlind Berisha via TKO. Pasley utilized heavy elbows from a top position to secure the win, prompting Dana White to compare the 24-year-old to Jon Jones. Other contract winners from the Week 5 card included Isaac Moreno, who earned a unanimous decision victory over Reginaldo Junior, and Martin Kozak, who defeated Christian Echols. Kozak leveraged a significant size advantage during the bout, which followed Echols missing weight by four pounds.
