I don't know if I would've given fight of the night to Jones v Rampage. It was a pretty one sided beating, when I think fight of the night I think of a back and forth fight, not one guy crushing the other from start to finish.

I would've probably given it to Mizugaki vs Escovedo.

I think they got it right, only because there were really 2 SOTN's and since Jones/Rampage was more of a fight than Diaz/Gomi, which was destruction, they gave Diaz SOTN and Jones/Rampage FOTN. Rampage being finished couldn't go without a bonus of some sort and Diaz deserved a bonus more than Mizugaki/Escovedo without a doubt. I'd assume that was the logic behind it.

Overall the fights were good last night
