The event was seen live on pay per view in the United States, and later released on home video.

Regardless of this, the show ran over its three-hour pay-per-view slot, cutting off some viewers from seeing the final match.

Michael Buffer served as the guest ring announcer for the night.

Marco Ruas won the tournament by defeating Paul Varelans.

After the event, mixed martial arts were illegal in New York, which prohibited UFC or any other promotion from holding any further MMA events in the state; it would take two decades, and significant lobbying, to pass legislation allowing the sport.
