UFC 191 results: Joaquim Silva wins UFC debut, Riggs takes a DQ win

Veteran Joe Riggs won his 58th pro fight when Ron Stallings got disqualified for an illegal upkick and UFC debutante Joaquim Silva took a split decision win over Nazareno Malegarie.

UFC 191 opened with two bouts on the promotion's Fight Pass streaming service. Veteran Joe Riggs took on Ron Stallings and a pair of Ultimate Fighter veterans made their Octagon debut.

The Riggs-Stallings bout was a sloppy if entertaining affair that came to a weird and unfortunate end. Stallings hurt Riggs' right eye badly early in the bout with either a poke or a stiff jab.
