Round 1Buenafuente opens up with a few kicks before Algeo leaps at him and fells him with a knee against the cage. Algeo tries to mount as he flurries with punches, but Buenafuente drives forward and finally holds him on the ground after a pair of quick takedowns. Algeo sits up against the cage post, controlling Buenafuente’s left arm as he posts and stands. Buenafuente spins to Algeo’s back and tries to drag him down for a rear-naked choke. He can’t get it and Algeo is right back up, then defends a guillotine attempt to stand again. Nice knee from Algeo before he’s pinned to the fence again, now with Buenafuente working a single-leg. Buenafuente gets another takedown and extracts his head from a loose headlock before trying another guillotine of his own. It doesn’t stick, and Algeo attacks the body of his opponent while Buenafuente drives on another single. Buenafuente gets him down and moves to cross side control, wrapping up Algeo’s legs. Algeo scoots to the fence and stands again, tries a standing kimura and hits Buenafuente with a hard knee to the face as he drops for another shot. Buenafuente is bleeding from his nose, still working for the takedown with 90 seconds left in what has been a busy first round. He gets Algeo down and immediately has to defend against a triangle. Algeo sweeps and puts Buenafuente on the ground with 30 seconds left. Buenafuente controls Algeo’s left arm until Algeo pulls free to drop a couple elbows before the bell.

Algeo put away Buenafuente.
Open guard for Algeo halfway through the fight, with Buenafuente scooting him around the cage, trying to land ground-and-pound but having difficulty as Algeo controls his arms. Algeo scrambles up and shakes Buenafuente off his back in the process. Now it’s Algeo on top, using his long legs to knee Buenafuente’s body between elbow strikes. Algeo steps into full mount with a minute remaining, then sinks in both hooks to secure back-mount when Buenafuente rolls over. Algeo switches to a body triangle and works to slip his left arm under Buenafuente’s chin. He uses his hips to stretch out Buenafuente’s body, and Buenafuente is forced to tap to the rear-naked choke at 4:36 of round two.
Round 1Marcellino stays on the outside and lands some solid leg kicks before Hansen is able to time one and score with a right-handed counter. Hansen catches Marcellino low with an inside leg kick, but Marcellino recovers quickly and they’re back to work with about four minutes left in the round. Hansen gets caught off-balance throwing a kick, allowing Marcellino to land one of his own. Ref Dan Miragliotta warns the fighters to watch their fingers when throwing punches. Marcellino sticks a jab and gets grazed with a counter hook. Hansen clips Marcellino with an overhand right. Another left from Hansen is followed by a low kick that turns Marcellino around. Marcellino fends Hansen off with rangy high kicks which Hansen does well to slip, then comes back in to counter. Marcellino catches a high kick and shoves Hansen to the ground. Hansen is right back up, but Marcellino stays on him and takes him down near the fence. Marcellino tries to take his back and Hansen slips out the back door to escape to his feet. Hansen catches a low kick and slugs Marcellino with a counter-punch that drops the New Yorker. Marcellino does well to wrap up when they hit the ground and gets back up, but he eats another big hook before the round ends.

Round 2

Hansen absolutely blasted Marcellino.
Another right drops Marcellino and it looks like this could be over, but Marcellino comes to and does just enough to defend as Hansen tries to finish him with punches. Marcellino uses the fence to stand and he’s got his wits back now, throwing punches in return. Hansen backs off, then charges and leaps at Marcellino, blasting him with a flying knee. Marcellino falls face-down on the canvas and ref Dan Miragliotta is already on his way in while Hansen tries to land more punches. Brenson Hansen gets the highlight-reel finish at 3:24 of the second round.
Round 1Wade fires off a few low kicks and tries to get Dugulubgov to flinch, but it’s the southpaw Dugulubgov who comes back with some loud, hard leg kicks that draw an “ooh” from the crowd. Wade kicks at the body, but the smaller Dugulubgov is doing well to counter and looks the faster man early. Trying to put his man on the fence, Wade winds up turned around, his back to the cage as Dugulubgov works for a takedown. Wade shoves him off and slips as he comes forward with a kick. Dugulubgov allows him back up, rushes with a combination and gets shot on as Wade changes levels. Dugulubgov turns it around and puts Wade on his back with half the round gone. Dugulubgov tries to extract his right leg from half-guard and move to side control on Wade’s right. Wade keeps him there, scoots backward to the fence and stands. He gets off the cage, but not before absorbing a couple big punches from Dugulubgov. Another big left hand from Dugulubgov lands as he catches Wade rushing in. Wade sends Dugulubgov staggering backward into the cage with a nice side-kick to the body, and they ride out the last half-minute without much more action.

Dugulubgov overpowered Wade for three rounds.
Dugulubgov stays all over him, landing right hands and a knee as Wade stands, and then dragging him back down with two minutes left in the frame. Dugulubgov tries for a crucifix, can’t pin down Wade’s arm. Wade puts him back in closed guard but doesn’t look any closer to getting up. Ref Dan Miragliotta tells them to work on the ground, so Dugulubgov postures up and slams Wade with a few elbows.

Round 3
Dugulubgov has Wade back on the ground early and sets up in side
control, leaning left to right in the center of the cage. Wade puts
him back in guard and nearly escapes, but gets stuck on his knees,
Dugulubgov still throwing punches. Wade is on his back again with
Dugulubgov in side control, dropping short, hard elbows. Wade tries
to grab hold of Dugulubgov’s leg, then his ankle, but Dugulubgov
slips out and they’re back on their feet with 90 seconds left. Wade
comes forward, throwing kicks which land under Dugulubgov’s armpit.
Dugulubgov changes levels and drives Wade down, but Wade pops up
long enough to grab a guillotine and pull guard again. From Wade’s
closed guard, Dugulubgov extracts his head and finishes out the
fight on top.

Gracie was injured in round one.
The Whippany, N.J., native tries to dive forward and roll to escape once, then twice, but Gracie tucks his head and avoids eating the canvas. Patishnock stands up with Gracie on his back once more and again he drives to dive forward, but still can't shake him. However, the Brazilian's forehead is now busted open, perhaps from hitting the mat on one of the three dive attempts. Patishnock controls Gracie's wrist, slowing the grappler's choke attempts. Gracie instead opts to punch from the rear body triangle. When he punches, Patishnock stands up and goes for a fourth forward roll, this time planting Gracie on his face and breaking free. Patishnock lands a volley of hammerfists before the horn. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 Gracie.
Igor Gracie has separated his right shoulder, and the fight is waved off by the doctor before the start of the second round. Richard Patishnock is awarded the TKO win after one round.

Lowe knocked Dollar down and out.
Referee Keith Peterson steps in before Lowe can add any more damage, and this one is over at 2:58 of the first round.
Round 1Glenn throws long punches while Pimentel works some low kicks and looks to wade inside. Glenn catches a kick and trips Pimentel to the ground but doesn’t follow the grappler down. Now it’s Pimentel timing a kick and driving Glenn to the floor in the center of the cage. Pimentel elbows Glenn’s thigh as he leans from left to right in half-guard. Glenn nearly has Pimentel back in guard when the Brazilian stands, slugs Glenn with a punch and wraps up the American as he tries to stand. “Pulga” throws Glenn back to the floor, Glenn stands again and Pimentel stays on his back with a rear waistlock. Glenn stuffs the next takedown attempt and looks to set up on top, but Pimentel is ready and throws up a triangle. Glenn slips out, Pimentel switches to an omoplata and Glenn is forced to play defense. Pimentel uses the omoplata and tries to sink a rear-naked choke while Glenn’s arm is trapped. He can’t get the angle and Glenn sticks it out, but finishes the round with Pimentel mounted on his back.

Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Pimentel

Round 2
The featherweights feel out the range once again in the opening
half-minute until Pimentel changes levels for a shot. Glenn stays
up this time and pushes him against the fence. Pimentel breaks out
and moves around the outside on the end of Glenn’s jab. Glenn lands
a good left-hand counter and throws a couple hooks to the body as
he continues to move Pimentel around the fence. Right hand to the
body by Glenn is followed up by a left over the top. Pimentel
strikes back, dropping Glenn with a short left hook. Glenn is dazed
and Pimentel leaps all over him, taking the American’s back with
half a round to go. Glenn nearly twists around to take top
position, but Pimentel stops him and locks up a body triangle.
Pimentel tries a triangle choke and winds up on the bottom, so he
rolls for a toe hold. Pimentel uses the leg to roll back on top and
now they’re back on their feet. Glenn is back to working his right
hook-left straight combo on the outside, only now Pimentel is
landing counters.

Glenn rallied to shock Pimentel.
McCray comes right at Villefort with punches and body kicks before tying up with the Brazilian and muscling him into the fence. Right hands land for McCray to the body while he works an underhook on the left side. McCray slams his man to the ground, but Villefort is quickly back on his feet, still held against the cage. After a few knees to Villefort’s thigh, McCray trips him down again. McCray can’t land from half-guard, stands and comes back down in Villefort’s open guard. McCray comes over the top with a few elbows, but now Villefort comes alive with half a dozen solid elbows from his back. McCray pushes Villefort’s head against the fence to stop the offense, but Villefort pushes off the cage to create space. Ninety seconds left now and Villefort swings his hips up for an armbar, instead sweeping to stand back up. Villefort scores with a pair of step-in knees and cracks McCray with an uppercut. Wide punches miss for McCray now, and Villefort hits a couple more knees in the clinch before taking his man down. McCray escapes and now lands an uppercut of his own. Villefort knocks him down with a right high kick and desperately tries to pound out the “Savage” with left hands, but can’t finish before the bell.

Villefort outlasted McCray to earn the win.
McCray goes upstairs now and Villefort swings for an armbar on McCray’s left arm. Again, he can’t find it, and McCray remains on top. Villefort tries to sweep and instead gives up his back, where McCray cinches up a body triangle and begins hunting for a rear-naked choke. Villefort gets an angle to stand, and McCray tries to lock up a standing arm-triangle as they get back to their feet. It doesn’t work, and Villefort throws McCray to the ground, where he punishes the American with heavy ground-and-pound from mount for the last few seconds.

Round 3
McCray sticks his jab in Villefort’s face but eats a left hand
behind the ear as he comes in to clinch. It’s McCray on the outside
as the middleweights grapple along the fence. Villefort grabs the
Thai plum and turns McCray around to land a knee, then sweeps his
leg out from underneath. Villefort works from McCray’s open guard
near the fence, now closed guard. Villefort drops some solid elbows
on top but McCray gets to his knees and then back to his feet.
McCray ducks a punch to grab a body lock, drags Villefort down but
Villefort is back up immediately. Villefort grazes with a head
kick, then drops McCray with a punch. McCray is in a bad spot,
trying to hold on to Villefort while “Indio” tries to grab the Thai
plum and finish with knees. McCray seems to have recovered with 90
seconds left and they separate. A spinning elbow cracks McCray and
he shoots a double which is easily stuffed by Villefort. Referee
Mulhall halts the action and issues Villefort a warning, though
it’s unclear for what. McCray is a bloody mess as they resume and
Villefort zaps him with a straight punch. McCray holds him on the
cage, and Villefort punches and knees until he can break away.
McCray storms with punches at the end, but neither guy lands clean
before the bell.

JZ was stopped by a cut.
Cavalcante is bleeding worse now, but he gets off the cage momentarily. Gaethje puts him back there, and now ref Keith Peterson wants the doctor to look at JZ’s cut. It’s a deep gash, and Peterson calls a halt to the bout on the doctor’s advice at 2:27 of the first round, giving Justin Gaethje the win via TKO.

Burkman rocked Simpson with a knee.
Burkman lights him up with a few more right hands and Simpson is staggering backward toward the fence. Another right hook and a knee have Simpson hitting the deck, and ref Dan Miragliotta has seen enough. Josh Burkman gets the TKO win at 3:04 of round one, setting up a future fight with Jon Fitch.
Round 1Branch sets up on the outside and immediately sticks Filho with a few jabs before taking him down in the middle of the cage. Filho holds him in half-guard and tries to control the taller man’s head. Branch nonetheless scores with some punches to the body and head of the former WEC champ. One particularly hard right hand to the guts has Filho blocking the punches. Some solid left hands up top land for Branch now as they move toward the fence. Filho isn’t defending against the shots now, just leaning to his side and looking to sweep. He pushes Branch’s face away now, trying to create space, but instead Branch steps into full mount. Filho doesn’t let him stay there long, pushing Branch off and putting him back in full guard. More right hands to the body score for Branch as they enter the last 90 seconds of the round. Filho doesn’t look any closer to getting up and isn’t mounting any offense from his back, nor does he appear to be angling for a submission attempt. Finally, with 30 seconds left, Filho starts trying to isolate Branch’s left arm, but he can’t hang on and Branch finishes the round with another cluster of punches.

Chris Nelson scores the round 10-8 Branch

Round 2
Branch is landing at will, trapping Filho on the fence and blasting
the Brazilian with long punches and knees inside. He hits a
takedown and this time Filho immediately tries to post and stand.
He gets halfway and stalls out, so Branch knees at his thighs until
Filho is back on his feet. Branch holds Filho on a cage post for a
few seconds before they’re reset by ref Kevin Mulhall. Shortly
afterward, Branch has Filho on the ground again, in this center of
the cage this time, landing unfettered right hands from side
control. Branch is counting aloud now as the punches add up; he
stops around 20 and works to advance position instead. Branch drops
elbows on Filho’s liver, now knees to the body and left hands to
the ribs. Branch moves to north-south position, quickly goes back
to side control, and finally knee-on-belly position to finish the
round.

Branch dominated Filho for 15 minutes.
A right hand from Branch sends Filho walking slowly backward toward the fence, where Branch catches up with him and drives a knee to the Brazilian’s liver. Filho blocks a left high kick with his forearm, but Branch gets a little more with the follow up right high kick. A few more punches and knees are followed by one final takedown for Branch, who will certainly take a lopsided win on the scorecards.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Branch (30-26 Branch)
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-8 Branch (30-24 Branch)
Mike Whitman scores the round 10-9 Branch (30-27 Branch)

Moraes stopped Nam in round one.
Moraes is all over him, landing a couple hard punches before ref Keith Peterson can jump in to save Nam. Marlon Moraes gets the knockout at 2:55 of the first round.
Round 1Referee Kevin Mulhall is the third man in the cage for tonight’s heavyweight main event. The big men meet in the center of the cage and Arlovski lands a right hook to the body before ducking a Johnson punch. A good combination goes for Arlovski, but now it’s Johnson ducking a punch to crack Arlovski with a right hook. Johnson works some leg kicks outside, has head kicks blocked on both sides. Arlovski tags Johnson with a combo before deflecting another head kick. A right hook backs Johnson off, but he comes back to pop Arlovski with a short left. Johnson hits Arlovski with another hard hook before walking the former UFC champ toward the fence. Arlovski tries some foot stomps while he’s being held against the cage with an underhook. Mulhall calls for action, doesn’t get enough and resets them with just over a minute left in the round. They get tangled up exchanging punches, and Johnson clinches up again after being clipped by a left hand. Arlovski turns him around, but Johnson strikes back with seconds remaining in the round, dropping Arlovski and nearly finishing him with punches on the floor. There’s some confusion as ref Mulhall gets between the fighters, but it was only the end of the round and not a stoppage as Johnson believed.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Johnson
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Johnson
Mike Whitman scores the round 10-9 Johnson
Round 2
The heavyweights exchange big hooks early in the round before
Johnson decides to put Arlovski on the cage. There’s not enough
action for Mulhall, who breaks them up after about 40 seconds of
stalling. Arlovski lights up Johnson with a right hand and a left
hook, but Johnson stands firm. He eats another left hand and an
uppercut from Arlovski, then they clash heads as they clinch.
Johnson goes low on a single-leg as he puts Arlovski on the cage
again. Arlovski turns him around and knees the body of Johnson, but
a knee strays low and catches Johnson square in the cup. Mulhall
pauses the action to give Johnson time to recover, which he does
quickly. Johnson comes out hard from the break, bombing Arlovski
with punches and then taking him down against the fence with about
one minute to go. Arlovski gets to a knee, then stands with Johnson
still clinging to his leg. Arlovski throws a couple right hands,
then double-handed chops to Johnson’s back while “Rumble” just
pushes forward on a double-leg to the end of the round.

Round 3

Johnson busted up Arlovski.
Johnson, himself bleeding from the nose, socks Arlovski with a couple right hands before confusingly shooting again and being reversed on the fence. They split with 45 seconds left and Arlovski lands a tired right hook. He goes to the body with a punch and tries a lazy spinning kick, which Johnson catches and shoots on. Arlovski stays up, defends one final takedown attempt and this one is going to the judges.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Johnson (29-28
Johnson)
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Arlovski (29-28 Arlovski)
Mike Whitman scores the round 10-9 Arlovski (29-28 Johnson)
Official result: All three judges score the bout 29-28 for the winner by unanimous decision, Anthony Johnson.
