with a left hook as he shoots in and drives Pague to the ground.

Pague’s left side. Pague connects with a few elbows from the
bottom, but it’s Camus getting the better with punches to the body
and head. Camus passes to side control with two minutes left in the
round, but Pague quickly regains guard. Once again scooting Pague
toward the fence, Camus drops ground-and-pound but takes a few
stiff elbows in return. Pague gets to his feet just before the end
of the round, though Camus stays glued to him and lands knees in
the clinch.

Round 3
Pague gets a quick takedown and attaches himself to Camus’ back,
cinching up a body triangle and hunting for the rear-naked choke.
After two minutes struggling to extract himself from the position,
Camus twists around and finds himself in Pague’s open guard. Camus
nearly steps into full mount but gets stuffed back to half-guard at
the last second. Ninety seconds left in the final round and it’s
Camus sitting up and dropping hard punches. Camus finally gets full
mount and unloads with some nasty right hands to Pague’s face.
Camus sinks in both hooks and rolls Pague over to try for the RNC
with 30 seconds left. Camus gets the choke with one arm, but Pague
guts it out and this one is going to the judges.

Jordan Breen scores the round 10-8 Kuiper
TJ De Santis scores the round 10-9 Kuiper
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-8 Kuiper
Round 2
Kuiper instantly targets the left leg of Hamman, who is showing
some serious guts by even coming out for the second round. Hamman
is still throwing punches, even connecting with a decent right
hand, but they don’t have much behind them. Kuiper’s shots, on the
other hand, still have plenty of pop. A right hand sends Hamman
backward, and Kuiper catches him with a left hook under the chin
that sends Hamman to the deck at the base of the fence. Kuiper
tries to polish him off, but somehow Hamman stays alive and gets
back to his feet. This is getting ugly now, as Hamman is barely
staying up while Kuiper connects with punch after punch. Finally, a
Kuiper uppercut seals the deal and referee Adam Martinez calls a
merciful end to the bout. The official time is 2:16 of the second
round.

TJ De Santis scores the round 10-9 Holloway
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Holloway
Round 2
Lawrence resumes his front- and side-kicking while Holloway tries
to walk him down and work his boxing. The crowd gets restless after
a relatively inactive 90 seconds and Lawrence clips the Hawaiian
with a spinning backfist. Holloway lands a stiff right, misses with
the knee behind it. Holloway ducks a pair of right hands and
responds with punches to the body, then stuffs a shot from
Lawrence. Holloway tries to swing over the top and gets pushed away
with a body kick. Lawrence dips in with a single left hand and
moves back out, prompting more boos. Ninety seconds to go and
Lawrence shoots from a mile out, and Holloway easily turns it away.
Holloway has closed the gap now and lands a clean right hand, then
a knee to the guts against the fence. A one-two over the top clips
Lawrence; seconds later, a blistering left to the body has Lawrence
seated at the base of the fence, covering up. Holloway smells blood
and goes wild with punches, forcing referee Josh Rosenthal into
action at 4:49 of round two.

Roberts connects with some more hard left hands in the opening
seconds of the round, but Okami again closes the gap and drags him
to the floor after a minute. Roberts tries a guillotine which
doesn’t work, though it allows him to get back to his feet. Okami
puts him right back on the ground with a double-leg and soon works
his way back to full mount. Roberts goes belly-down again, this
time with half a round remaining, and Okami thumps away with
constant right hands. The punches are nearly all blocked by
Roberts’ forearm, but referee Dean nonetheless steps in to rescue
the American. Roberts hops up immediately afterward, but he’s not
protesting the stoppage. After back-to-back losses, Yushin Okami
gets back on track with a TKO win at 3:09 of round two.

Round 2
Herman immediately comes in to clinch again, and this time it only
takes Shields 30 seconds to whip “Short Fuse” to the ground.
Shields is in side position on Herman’s right side, leaning across
to crank a kimura on Herman’s left arm. Herman gets his arm loose
and Shields punishes him with a few horizontal elbows from the same
position. Back in Herman’s closed guard, Shields drops a few elbows
and punches to the body, while Herman throws elbows of his own from
underneath. With 40 seconds to go and with the Denver crowd getting
restless again, Shields passes to half-guard. Herman stuffs him
back and throws another elbow before the horn, and the crowd lets
them hear it when the round ends.

Round 3
Herman looks to have the drop on Shields early in the last round,
as he surprisingly tosses the Cesar Gracie product to the ground.
It’s short lived, as Shields quickly stands back up and drags
Herman to the canvas. More half-guard grinding from Shields, then
laying on Herman from closed guard. Herman does his best to elbow
from the bottom, but it’s tough to get an angle on the strikes with
Shields’ face buried in his midsection. Shields makes some effort
to throw strikes in the waning seconds of the bout, but it’s not
enough to appease the audience, which erupts with boos at the final
horn.
