Reyes dropped Weidman with a straight left hand in the non-title light heavyweight main event. After Reyes landed a few more punches to the head, referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:43.
It was the fifth loss in the last six fights for the 35-year-old Weidman, of Baldwinville, New York. It also was his first fight as a light heavyweight. He entered as the UFC's sixth-ranked middleweight. Stephens controlled the third round, taking Rodriguez down twice and keeping him on the mat for the final three minutes.
Former NFL All-Pro defensive end Greg Hardy's unanimous-decision victory over Ben Sosoli at heavyweight was changed to a no-contest by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission because Hardy used an asthma inhaler between rounds.
