With the loss erased, Lentz (21-4-2) remains unbeaten in the UFC with five wins and a lone draw, while Oliveira (14-1) returns to 14-1 and will have to try again to rebound from his first career loss to Jim Miller in December when he returns to the Octagon.

Despite the controversial finish, Lentz and Oliveira will still awarded $50,000 bonuses for putting on the “Fight of the Night” at UFC on Versus 4.
