SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Motta (-205), VanCamp
(+175)

Round 1

The UFC is having a bit of a comedown from the last week’s
ridiculous pay-per-view mess, trotting out a low-key Fight Night
with one single ranked matchup that sits atop the event – to top it
off, a plurality of the competitors came straight off or are one
fight in from Dana White’s Contender Series matches. This includes
the first fight on the card, where 2020 signee Motta (12-4, 0-1
UFC) had the misfortune of drawing motivated Jim Miller in his UFC
debut earlier this year. Motta was not the only man to get a tough
first out, as VanCamp (15-6-1, 1 NC; 0-1 UFC) squared off against
power-punching welterweight Andre Fialho a few months ago only to
get punched out. Both of these two lightweights will try to right
the ship on this opening bout on the card, in search of their
elusive first victory inside the Octagon. Referee Chris Tognoni
will do the honors of officiating this contest, which begins
without a touch of gloves. VanCamp strikes first with a low kick,
and he pushes Motta back with a front kick up the middle. After a
lull in the action, VanCamp pushes out another such kick, and Motta
comes up short with a counter left hand. VanCamp chips away at his
foe’s lead leg a few times, while Motta shadowboxes from afar. A
half-hearted front kick from VanCamp hits nothing but air, and
Motta suddenly springs into action and swarms with a few punches
and ending it with a left hook. VanCamp blinks it out while leaning
back and staying tall, and Motta bears down on him again to pop him
with a pair of power punches. Motta lines up with big clubbing
punches, and VanCamp turns his shoulder just enough to block the
blows from connecting cleanly. VanCamp plays the matador briefly as
Motta swings wild, and he gets off a body shot and a low kick.
Motta marches through it to wing a left hook, and he dodges a
flying knee so that he can let off some steam with another big
left. VanCamp gathers himself and looks to get back in his rhythm
of front kicks and low kicks. Motta responds with an overhand
right, and it rings VanCamp’s bell and staggers him back. VanCamp
wobbles back to the wall, smiles and nods, but his legs are not
totally beneath him.
Motta does not “Jumpman” get his bearings back, as he loads up on a
massive left hook and knocks VanCamp down to his seat. VanCamp
moves to get to his knees, possibly for a desperation takedown, and
Motta is on him with jackhammering right hands to seal the deal.
The force “Iron Motta” generates with his fist adds up fast, and
VanCamp’s consciousness starts to fade as Tognoni smartly steps in
to save VanCamp from going all the way out.
That’s one
heck of a way to start out the night.

The Official Result

Nikolas Motta def. Cameron VanCamp R1 3:49 via TKO (Punches)

SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Basharat (-165), Gravely
(+140)

Round 1

Unlike the previous match, both of these two competitors in this
bantamweight contest celebrate winning records in the UFC so far. A
grizzled vet compared to his foe, Gravely (23-7, 4-2 UFC) will try
to become the first man to defeat “The Snow Leopard” Basharat
(12-0, 1-0 UFC). Whether he does or not, referee Keith Peterson
will be the first to know, just as soon as he issues the eviction
notice on all nonsense in the UFC Apex. The two men rush out to the
middle of the cage without touching gloves, and Basharat fires off
a heavy low kick. Gravely swings back wildly and comes up short,
with Basharat aiming another leg kick to the same spot, only for it
to get checked. Gravely gives him one back, and he darts forward
with a swiping left hook. The hard calf kicks come from both
fighters, and Basharat mixes things up with a kick to the body.
Gravely ties up with his man and they clack heads together, one
that opens an immediate cut on the left eyebrow of “The Snow
Leopard.” Basharat dodges a knee, and Gravely chases after him
looking for a takedown. When Gravely gets his man to a knee, he
doubles up his effort and slams the undefeated fighter down.
Basharat springs back up and slashes out with an elbow, and
Peterson pauses the fight to call in the doctor to check on the
cut, which is leaking down into Basharat’s eye. Peterson
acknowledges that it was due to a headbutt and not from a legal
strike, and Basharat is cleared to continue. When they resume,
Basharat frantically leaps in the air with a knee, and Gravely
steps back and shoots for a takedown. Basharat stuffs it and gets
kneed on the way up, but he pays it no mind. Basharat strings a few
kicks together to the lead leg and midsection, and they both crack
one another with power strikes. Basharat stings his opponent with a
knee to the body, and Gravely takes a second to reset before
surging forward to lock. Basharat snipes his foe a few times with
jabs, and Gravely steps through them to nail his foe on the cheek.
Basharat, after absorbing some heavy shots, shoots in for a
takedown and gets it. Gravely defends it with a guillotine choke,
and he works his way back to his feet by threatening with it. As he
stands, Basharat is busy with elbow strikes, but Gravely ignores
them before powering forward with several thudding leg kicks.
Basharat spins with a back kick to the body, and the horn
sounds.

Round 2

The bantamweights meet in the middle of the cage once more, and
Gravely lets his legs go with a leg kick and a head kick. Basharat
pushes out a long straight punch to slow down the kicks, and he
gets off a kick to the crook of the knee to force a Gravely shot.
The double-leg entry from Gravely succeeds, and when Basharat
powers his way back up, the mat return from a body lock comes
shortly thereafter. The undefeated fighter stands, and he bowls
Gravely over and pushes him off to rip a kick to the body. Basharat
targets the same spot on the midsection with a few punches, and he
tackles Gravely over to land in half guard. “The Snow Leopard”
pounces to take side control from the other side, and he keeps
Gravely pinned down even when Gravely drags him back to half guard.
Basharat hacks down with an elbow, and sensing its success, he
doubles up on it. Basharat flirts with an arm-triangle choke as he
exerts heavy shoulder pressure, and he sits up every so often to
drop down another elbow. Gravely explodes back to his knees, and he
finds himself in a guillotine choke setup immediately. When Gravely
stands, Basharat greets him with a knee on the chin, and this
forces Gravely to shift back down to his knees. Basharat threatens
with a brabo choke when this occurs, so Gravely uses all his energy
to stand back up and break the grip of the arms. Basharat keeps the
American pressed tightly to the wall, but Gravely’s sheer power
allows him to push and swing his way out of the clinch. Basharat
spins with a back kick to the ribcage, and he lets go with his left
shin towards the liver. Gravely lands one single kick, and Basharat
digs several punches to the body. The body work from Basharat is
drawing pauses from Gravely, as he kicks and punches it with
reckless abandon. Gravely shoots in recklessly, and he gets kneed
in the gut while standing. Basharat whiffs on a spinning wheel kick
right before the bell.

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Basharat
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Basharat
Tristen Critchfield scores the round: 10-9 Basharat

Round 3

Gravely is the initial aggressor to start off the final round,
likely expecting he is down on the scorecards. Basharat keeps his
distance with side kicks, and Gravely slows him briefly with a trio
of heavy inside low kicks. Gravely charges, but Basharat is out of
the way before he gets reached. Gravely tries to aim another heavy
kick, and Basharat is light on his feet, dodging the blow and
coming in with a four-punch salvo. Basharat snaps out several jabs
to disrupt the advancing Gravely, and Gravely answers with multiple
chopping calf kicks. Basharat’s jabs allow him to slip the power
punches from his opponent, as Gravely is loading up on his strikes.
A few of his winging punches manage to catch Basharat before he can
get away, but “The Snow Leopard” defends a subsequent takedown
attempt by putting Gravely down on his face. Basharat tries to turn
the tables with a takedown effort, but the scramble from Gravely is
quick enough to get up. Constantly moving forward, Gravely walks
through speedy jabs while loading up heavily. When Basharat sits
down on his own strikes, Gravely can catch him, and the leg kicks
still continue connecting. Basharat gives several back, all while
peppering the American with jab after unanswered jab. Gravely ties
his foe up so that he can club him with short strikes, but Basharat
pushes off before absorbing anything of note. Gravely kicks the
body on the split, and Basharat throws a series of punches
punctuated by a high kick. Basharat fakes a spin so that he can
wing an elbow, and Gravely responds with a failed takedown try.
Basharat pops Gravely several times with distance strikes, keeping
his volume high and using front kicks to slow Gravely. Basharat
looks for a knee up the middle when missing with a spin kick, and
they both trade big right hands. A few more accurate punches from
the undefeated fighter, and time expires.

SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Robertson (-145), Agapova
(+125)

Round 1

Two women that used to train under the same roof of American Top
Team now find themselves standing across from one another in the
cage. Agapova (10-3, 2-2 UFC) remains with ATT Sunrise, while
Robertson (10-7, 7-5 UFC) has since moved on to the Goat Shed in
Miami. Which Florida-based team will pick up the win in this one?
We, along with referee Mark Smith, wait with bated breath until
this women’s flyweight clash commences. When the bell rings, the
former training partners do not touch gloves. Robertson is the one
who comes out striking first, and she blocks a few punches so that
she can shoot in for a takedown. Dry as a bone, Agapova snatches up
a guillotine choke from her back, and it is tight in an instant.
“The Savage” stays calm and composed, and she slowly squirms her
neck out of danger without panicking. When she pulls herself out of
the choke, she goes after a single-leg takedown. The approach of
Robertson works against her, as Agapova leans with her back to the
wall and elbows Robertson on the ear over a dozen times to hurt
Robertson. The Canadian falls to her back to accept a ground fight,
and she scrambles well enough so that she partially takes the back
of her opponent. Robertson follows her foe back to her knees, and
she keeps the back control. Robertson maintains her full weight on
her opponent to tire out a woman with notorious cardio issues, and
when Agapova stands, Robertson keeps her hands around Agapova’s
waist standing. Agapova powers out of the clinch to get back to her
striking, and she lands a few punches to get Robertson’s attention.
A Superman punch from “Demonslayer” rocks Robertson, and when she
starts to get the upper hand, Robertson shoots in for a low single.
Agapova slugs the side of Robertson’s head with elbows, and a few
may have landed illegally, which forces her to change her attack.
Even as Robertson is glommed on to her opponent, Agapova keeps
slamming her fists on Robertson’s face. Agapova falls over from the
takedown, and Robertson jumps on top and wraps up an arm-triangle
choke. She holds this position right to the bell, unable to elicit
a tap.

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Agapova
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Agapova
Tristen Critchfield scores the round: 10-9 Agapova

Round 2

Before the round begins, Robertson is warned to protect herself
while pursuing takedowns, as she has some serious damage and
swelling on the left side of her face. Robertson nods, and they
continue. She plods forward, pushing out a front kick, and she is
quick to put up her guard to block a spinning back fist. Agapova
stays on her bike, quickly popping her opponent with single
strikes, but Robertson plows through them all to hit a takedown.
When Agapova scoots to the wall, Robertson drags her away from it
and moves to three-quarter mount. Robertson steps over to mount and
starts fishing for an arm-triangle choke, and Agapova surrenders
her back when trying to escape. Robertson hops on the back and
latches on to a rear-naked choke, and she squeezes the submission
with all her might. Agapova does not fight the hands, and she
instead struggles with all her might to turn from one side to the
other.
Agapova, gasping for air, chomps down on her tongue and is still
not defending the submission, as it slides under her chin. Blood is
soon cut off from the brain, and Agapova goes out as her arms fall
limp to the side.
Smith notices immediately that
“Demonslayer” has been slain, and he breaks up the submission.
Agapova lays lifelessly on her belly when the choke is released,
and she comes to as Smith is explaining to her the fight is over.
That is one more finish for Robertson, who extends her record for
the most in UFC women’s flyweight divisional history.

SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Zellhuber (-285), Ogden
(+240)

Round 1

Like the Gravely-Basharat matchup from earlier, a fighter with at
least 20 pro bouts will try to make a 12-0 fighter’s 0 go. In this
instance, it is Glory MMA & Fitness’ Ogden (15-5, 0-1 UFC), who
only finishes fights by submission, against unbeaten Mexican
striker Zellhuber (12-0, 0-0 UFC). The third man in the cage for
this lightweight tilt will be referee Herb Dean, and he sits back
to observe a touch of gloves. There is a stalemate when the fight
begins, with no strikes thrown for the first 20 seconds or so.
Ogden punctuates the silence with a slapping kick to the outside of
the newcomer’s leg, and he eventually tosses out one on the inside.
The lightweights are exceedingly patient to engage, with the only
strikes in a full minute three leg kicks. Zellhuber pitches a front
kick up the middle that is swatted away, and Ogden use another low
kick to find his range and do something at all. Ogden shoots from
afar, and Zellhuber sees it coming and easily tosses him out of the
way. Ogden gathers himself and uses a low kick, and he reaches out
with a left hook. Zellhuber comes up short with a jab, and he is
similarly inaccurate in several other strikes to differing targets.
Ogden goes up high with a kick that slaps off the shoulder, and he
peppers the lead leg with several kicks. Zellhuber comes out
throwing hands, and Ogden is faster and intercepts him with a left
hook. Zellhuber misses the chin by a matter of inches with a quick
kick, and it slaps into the chest with emphasis. They both score
single jabs, and Ogden stays active with leg kicks to both sides of
the lead wheel of “Golden Boy.” Ogden pushes out multiple jabs, and
the kicks from both fighters get blocked. Ogden chips and chops
with low kicks, and the snoozer of a round ends.

Round 2

The tentative second round starts just like the first ended, albeit
without a glove touch, with neither man willing to engage with much
of note. Ogden keeps using low kicks as his preferred weapon, and
he snaps the head back with a counter hook when Zellhuber closes in
on him. As Zellhuber advances again to walk through kicks, he gets
poked in the eye. Dean gives him time to recover, but Zellhuber
wants to keep going and pick things up. Ogden is the one fired up
after the brief break, with a few quick combinations to string
together. Zellhuber answers with his own short barrage of punches,
but it is the leg kick he throws at its conclusion that has the
greater effect. Zellhuber swings with a left hook, and Ogden times
a takedown perfectly but cannot get in on the hips to ground the
newcomer. Zellhuber thanks him for this attempt with a head kick,
but it misses the mark by a great deal. Zellhuber sits down on a
pair of punches, but they largely collide with the guard of
“Samurai Ghost.” Zellhuber stretches out with a front kick to the
body, but it is one and done as Ogden resets. Zellhuber pokes out a
jab, and he gets his own body kicked along with three to his lead
leg. Ogden swipes with a left hook, and they hand-fight in the
center of the cage. Simultaneous jabs allow Zellhuber to reach
first, and he chains the jab into a front kick. “Golden Boy” swings
and misses, due to the level change and successful takedown landed
by Ogden. Zellhuber pops back up, and Ogden takes his back
standing. Ogden holds the position until the horn sounds.

Round 3

Fists are bumped to start off the last round, and the fighters
decide to pick up the pace a little by actually punching each other
in succession. They trade straight punches before switching to
kicks to the body, and one after the other they exchange blows.
This slows when Zellhuber backs away and tries to use his range,
but he cannot find it as his punches and kicks continually miss the
mark. Ogden snipes him and closes the distance to land, only to
scoot away before the counter. Zellhuber eats a left hook and tries
to pay his man back, but Ogden slips it and shoots in for a double.
Zellhuber stuffs it and winds up with a high kick, but it
helplessly slaps off the blocking hand, a great distance from
Ogden’s mug. Ogden sticks out several jabs, and Zellhuber’s pace
falls to single strikes. Ogden has a shin skim off the liver, and
he works the lead leg and ducks back as Zellhuber swings wildly.
“Golden Boy” leaps in the air with a knee, and Ogden slides away
and smacks Zellhuber with a left hand. Zellhuber walks into jabs
and throws high-risk, low-reward strikes like a spinning kick, only
to hit air. Ogden continues his effective jab to disrupt the brief
charges of his opponent, and he sneaks a head kick up that is just
blocked in time. “Samurai Ghost” punches the body and evades, and
he doubles up on his effective jab to give Zellhuber fits.
Zellhuber steps in with an elbow that misses where he aims it, and
a second to follow is blocked. Ogden shoots for another takedown,
and it is similarly stuffed. Zellhuber swings and misses with a
flying knee, and a few punches and kicks from both men lead to an
end in this de facto sparring match.

| ODDS: Suphisara (-225), Gomes
(+190)

Round 1

For the entirety of her young career, Thailand’s Suphisara (6-3,
4-2 UFC) has won two fights and then lost a third, but always
bounced back from that defeat with two more victories. This pattern
has continued into this strawweight scrap against UFC newcomer and
Parana Vale Tudo – the training camp of women like Jessica Andrade
and Karol Rosa – prospect Gomes (6-1, 0-0 UFC), and a win for the
Thai would keep it intact. This likely fast-paced fight will
receive oversight from referee Keith Peterson, and a touch of
gloves comes before his nonsense-free eyes. Suphisara fires off a
front kick, and the Brazilian answers immediately with a slapping
leg kick. Suphisara responds in kind, and they mirror one another
with their strikes. Suphisara counters with a clean elbow that
opens a cut on the top of Gomes’ forehead, and her teep kick sends
Gomes sprawling to the mat. Gomes climbs back up, and she spins
with a wheel kick but is too close. With Suphisara closing in on
her, she scores a right hand, and Gomes catches a subsequent kick.
The Brazilian spins her opponent around and jams her into the
fence. “Loma Lookboonmee” reverses position and takes her opponent
down, where she climbs into mount in a hurry. The Thai slams down
several vicious elbows until Gomes gives up her back, and Suphisara
is hanging on in search of a choke of some sort. Suphisara flattens
Gomes out, but Gomes is holding on tight with wrist control to stop
anything from coming together. Gomes slithers out the back door,
and Suphisara clings to a kimura until the Brazilian pops her head
out. Gomes, in half guard, fishes for an arm-triangle choke in the
blink of an eye. Gomes squeezes with her full body weight down, but
she is not in the position that can get a tap. Suphisara answers
the proverbial telephone to defend it, and as she does, Gomes jumps
over to the side to lock it down. Gomes gives up on it to moves
into mount, and she sets up an armbar and rolls to her back. Gomes
throws her legs up with a triangle setup when the armbar is not
there, and Suphisara slashes her with several elbows when the Thai
gets space. Suphisara batters her opponent with elbows until the
bell breaks them up.

Round 2

The ladies calmly saunter towards one another to start off Round 2,
and Gomes throws first with an inaccurate head kick. Suphisara
answers with a chopping leg kick, and her leg flies up high to the
shoulder in a subsequent blow. Suphisara aims for a takedown, and
she settles to topple over and put Gomes on her back, where she is
already nearly in mount. Gomes drags her back to half guard and
grips onto a kimura, and she succeeds in nullifying any additional
strikes from the Thai. The sweep attempt fails, as Suphisara steps
over into mount and pounds her with several elbows. Suphisara looks
to take the back, but abandons it, sits up and returns to her feet.
Gomes follows, and Suphisara greets her with a pair of kicks. Both
women lead with fierce elbows, and Gomes crashes in to clinch
before dropping to her knees for a single. “Loma Lookboonmee”
defends it and works her adversary over in the clinch with knees
and elbows. Gomes responds with one, and she falls to her back
courtesy of a head lock throw. Suphisara, landing in half guard,
starts to deliver some elbows to the dome. Gomes manages to pull
Suphisara back to her guard, and she tries for a triangle choke of
sorts. Suphisara stands and walks away, but she does not pay
attention and thinks that Peterson is standing Gomes up. Peterson
does nothing of the sort, and Gomes dives in for an unexpected
takedown. Protect yourself at all times. Suphisara turns herself
around to stay on her feet, and she frames off to peg Gomes with
punches and kicks until the horn blares.

Round 3

The final frame begins frantically, as Gomes goes on the offensive
immediately. Pushing forward, she drives Suphisara to the wall and
lands a few solid punches. As Suphisara defends, Gomes spins with
an elbow and blasts the Thai in the face. Gomes changes levels in
search of a takedown, and the two hit the mat. Gomes tries to
isolate a leg in search of a leglock, and Suphisara awkwardly
slides her leg out of it but does not get up. Gomes jumps on to
take her back, and she hooks the body triangle on her toes. Gomes
starts setting up a rear-naked choke, and it is more of a neck
crank as she cannot get a grip under the chin. Gomes keeps
searching for chokes, but none are to be found as Suphisara defends
her neck well. Suphisara explodes out of the position and right
into armbar danger, but she shucks the legs out of the way and gets
on top. Gomes turns and nearly gives up her own back, but Suphisara
does not take it and decides to stand up. The Brazilian follows her
to the feet, but “Loma Lookboonmee” immediately trips her out and
lands on top. Suphisara belts her opponent with elbows as the blood
flows freely from the UFC newcomer’s face, and Gomes can do little
else but defend her head as she is jammed between the corner of the
cage and the mat. Suphisara rains down several punches, and the
final bell puts an end to this strange 115-pound pairing.

SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Giles (-205), Cosce (+175)

Round 1

After suffering his first career defeat, in the form of a knockout
to Sasha Palatnikov, Cosce (7-1, 0-1 UFC) ended up taking nearly
two years off from the sport. In that stretch of inactive time for
Cosce, his upcoming foe Giles (14-4, 5-4 UFC) has been fairly
active, taking three fights in two different weight classes. “The
Problem” does find himself with a bit of a problem, as he has lost
two straight, but he intends on making Cosce the one on a two-fight
skid when the dust settles. One man’s unsuccessful stretch will
continue at night’s end, and referee Chris Tognoni is here for
whatever happens. The welterweights touch hands, and Giles takes
the center of the cage and slowly stalks the younger fighter down.
“The Problem” fakes for a takedown to draw out a reaction, and
Cosce tosses out a single outside leg kick. Both fighters are
extremely cautious to start off this fight, with one or two total
strikes landed in the first 90 seconds. Giles pops out a single
jab, but he does not follow it with anything and just measures his
man. The Texan fires off several low kicks, and Cosce has no
answer. A failed takedown from Giles leads to nothing, and they
stare at one another for another extended stretch. Cosce comes up
short with a high kick, and Giles plants a kick on the lead leg
when he turns about. Cosce goes low with a shot and throws high,
and a right hand partially lands. Cosce explodes forward with a few
chasing punches, but “The Problem” causes problems by being too
elusive to get hit. Giles sneaks in a right hand and measures up a
low kick, and Giles misses the mark with a few jabs. Giles ducks
back after tossing a light leg kick, avoiding the punches from his
opponent. Giles has a kick blocked, and the horn sounds. It is not
an exaggeration that Cosce may have cleanly landed just one single
strike in the five-minute period.

Sherdog Scores

Round 2

Hands are clapped, and Giles starts off the round with a leg kick.
Several pawing jabs from Cosce lead to a single left hand, and
Giles comes at him with three responsive blows. Cosce nearly falls
over when Giles tosses him aside after an exchange, and the
commentary booth has drifted off – for the second time this fight –
into a conversation about shorts and pants. The fighters trade low
kicks, and Giles whips one up high that pounds into the guard.
Single kicks are exchanged, and Cosce’s head coach of John Wood is
practically begging his fighter to do anything. Cosce is spurred
into action momentarily, but Giles catches him with an overhand
right to slow his pace again. Giles swings a low kick and strafes
to the left and right, and he guards a head kick. Giles scores a
right hand, and Cosce responds in kind. Giles wings up with a low
kick hard enough to make Cosce do a pirouette, and Giles chains
that strike into a second when Cosce plants again. This second
strike, one that bends the knee, prompts a stance switch. Cosce’s
corner starts shouting at him to fight, and he swings a telegraphed
right hand that allows Giles to change levels and grab hold of his
waist. “The Problem” looks for a trip or some way to drag the fight
down to the ground, and he stomps on the toes for good measure.
Cosce grabs the fence when trying to keep himself upright, and he
gets warned for it. Giles exerts his full body weight on the back,
and he lands knees until the horn sounds.

Round 3

The fighters high-five, and Cosce gathers a full head of steam and
shoots in for a takedown. Cosce easily lands it, and Giles hangs on
with a guillotine choke off his back. As he does, Cosce holds on
with his shoulder in a partial effort to secure a Von Preux choke,
and Giles scrambles and wriggles to get his neck free from the
sudden submission danger. Cosce takes half guard, and he prefers
position over other submission or any strikes, hanging on while
Giles bucks and kicks. Giles locks him down until Cosce breaks the
grip and moves to a possible arm-triangle choke position. Cosce
tangles his toes in the fence in order to get better leverage, and
he is warned for this multiple times. Giles protects himself from
harm, and Cosce lays on top. As this actionless stalemate
continues, the commentary team begins to discuss U.S. presidents.
Giles bursts out of this position unexpectedly, and Cosce holds on
with a bulldog choke until he cannot keep Giles down no longer.
Giles turns the tables and drags “The Monster” down to the ground,
but he cannot successfully complete the takedown. Cosce works from
his knees back up to his feet from the wire, and Giles is clinging
to his foe like Saran wrap. Cosce grabs the fence to prevent
himself from going down, and Giles slams Cosce on his face one
second before the final horn mercifully concludes this miserable
match.

| ODDS: Sabatini (-180), Jackson
(+155)

Round 1

A pair of surging featherweights are on deck to provide what should
be a scintillating clash of grappling styles. With 25 combined
submissions between the two, any ground exchanges should be worth
watching. Responsible for 15 of those tapouts/chokeouts is “The
Leech” Jackson (21-4-1, 1 NC; 4-2-1, 1 NC UFC), while Renzo Gracie
Philly rep Sabatini (17-3, 4-0 UFC) posts the other 10. This will
be an emotional affair, as Jackson’s brother passed away earlier
this week. Referee Keith Peterson is ready to step in at a moment’s
notice should nonsense materialize out of thin air, and there is no
need of a glove touch as these two want to get after it. The first
30 seconds lead to nothing, and out of nowhere, Jackson fires off a
front kick to the chin that stuns Sabatini. Sabatini lunges
forward, and Jackson turns him about and throws him on his back.
Jackson begins to pound on him with his fists, and Sabatini is in a
bad way.
Jackson allows Sabatini to give up his back so that he can climb
aboard and drop hammers. Sabatini shells up, flattened out on his
stomach, and Jackson continues to bombard him with unanswered
punches to the side of the head. The blows are fierce and furious,
and Jackson does not slow down until Sabatini cries out and
Peterson steps in to call a halt to the match.
Jackson
climbs off his fallen foe, and he goes over to his corner and
collapses to his knees and breaks down in tears. It is an emotional
moment for Jackson and his family in the crowd, as he fights to
honor his fallen brother.

Damon Jackson def. Pat Sabatini R1 1:09 via TKO (Submission to

| ODDS: Hernandez (-175), Barriault
(+150)

Round 1

The main card kicks off with a classic stylistic matchup said time
and time again on many broadcasts. Submission artist Hernandez
(9-2, 1 NC; 3-2 UFC) will aim to land the first one on the
power-punching Barriault (14-5, 1 NC; 3-4, 1 NC UFC), and the
judges might be able to take this fight off. Referee Herb Dean,
however, will not likely be as lucky, as he might be needed to step
in suddenly. The gloves are sportingly touched by the 185-pounders,
and Hernandez blitzes forward almost immediately. Hernandez punches
his way into a clinch, catching the Canadian with a strike or two,
and Barriault spins him around and works uppercuts from up close.
Hernandez breaks free, and he scores a short elbow, backs off, and
drives a one-two through the guard. Barriault winds up with two
overhand rights, backing Hernandez from one side of the cage to the
other. Hernandez changes levels in pursuit of a takedown, and
Barriault sneakily scrambles to climb on the back of “Fluffy.”
Hernandez manages to shake him off and put Barriault down on the
mat, and he starts drilling his opponent with powerful right hands.
Barriault works his way up, only to get dragged right back down.
Hernandez introduces his left hand his foe’s face, and when
Barriault tries to post off his arm and stand, Hernandez lifts him
up and slams him down. Barriault will not remain on the ground, as
he explodes back up. Hernandez allows this so that he can string
together a solid one-two, and Barriault springs into action with a
few quick counterpunches. Hernandez rips an elbow up high, a knee
to the body, and a level change for a scooping takedown that plants
the Canadian on the ground. Barriault defends with a guillotine
choke when he hits the mat, and Hernandez easily wiggles his neck
out and starts threatening with one of his own. Barriault stands
up, but he finds himself in close-range danger. Hernandez drills
him with three vicious elbows, and he digs several punches to bend
Barriault over. As Barriault looks to respond, Hernandez rips his
legs out and takes him to the floor. When nothing comes from the
guard, Hernandez stands up in it and smashes down several
standing-to-ground punches until the horn blares.

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Hernandez

Round 2

Barriault starts off aggressively, pushing the pace and driving
Hernandez back to the wall while letting his hands go. When they
clinch up, Hernandez makes him pay with several short shots, and he
spins around and snatches up a single that allows him to dump
Barriault to the ground. Hernandez shifts over to half guard as
Barriault kicks and bucks, and he postures up and drops down
elbows. Hernandez moves to a three-quarter mount position and
continues his elbow blows until Barriault springs to his knees.
Hernandez drags him to his seat from behind and pounds on him with
unanswered left hands, and he mixes in the occasional elbow and
makes Barriault get desperate to stand up. “Fluffy” hacks with
elbows but cannot keep Barriault grounded, and he slips out of the
way from a power punch so that he can shoot in for a single. The
takedowns are getting easier for Hernandez, who grounds Barriault
and starts up again with ruthless elbow blows from above. Barriault
scrambles to his knees, and Hernandez allows him to do this so that
he can wind up with several knees to the possibly damaged ribs.
Hernandez gets a hook in and takes the Canadian’s back, and he
threatens with an unsuccessful rear-naked choke. When Barriault
moves and turns, Hernandez follows him all the way to claim full
mount. Hernandez beats on Barriault with elbows until Barriault
sits up with his back to the wall, and “Power Bar” still has enough
energy to get up. When standing and split up again, Barriault lands
several jabs and follows them with heavy punches. The strikes draw
a smile out of Hernandez, and he scores right back with a huge
right hand to stagger Barriault. Hernandez does not follow it up,
and instead allows time to elapse and the round to end.

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Hernandez
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Hernandez

Round 3

Knowing he is likely down on the scorecards, Barriault lumbers
forward and swings hard. Hernandez sticks him and shoots for a
takedown, where he puts Barriault down. As soon as Barriault climbs
back up, Hernandez lifts him up in the air and slams him down right
on his head. The Canadian is eternally tough, fighting out of this
position and getting back up once more. “Fluffy” drags him back
down shortly after he stands, and Hernandez moves to half guard and
locks down an arm-triangle choke.
The full weight of Hernandez is pressed down on his shoulder, where
he crushes down and puts Barriault straight in the danger zone. As
soon as Hernandez steps over to the side, Barriault’s defending arm
goes limp, and Dean promptly recognizes this and calls it a
night.
That is two technical submissions tonight, with
UFC Fight Night 210 reaching a feat that has only occurred in a
dozen past UFC cards.

SCOUTING REPORT
| ODDS: Boser (-165), Nascimento
(+140)

Round 1

Heavyweights take center stage for the only time tonight, with two
mid-range competitors in the division that are a couple wins away
from a number next to their name. Boser (20-8-1, 4-3 UFC) recently
ended a skid by punching out Ovince St. Preux, while Nascimento
(8-1, 1 NC; 1-1, 1 NC UFC) thought he was going to do the same
against Alan Baudot, only to get flagged for Ritalin. Octagon
ranger Mark Smith may get a workout trying to dodge the punches and
kicks from these fighters, who have no plan in touching gloves.
Nascimento works his way in, and he walks right into a right hand
from the Canadian. Nascimento fires back with a clubbing left hand,
and he follows it with another that knocks his opponent back. “Yogi
Bear” shoots for a takedown, and he elects to lift Boser up in the
air and deposit him to the mat not-so-gingerly. Nascimento lands in
half guard, and he isolates the left wrist with a two-on-one wrist
control in an attempt to pass. Boser does not fall for it, and he
recovers his guard, so Nascimento thanks him with several heavy
punches on the side. Boser smacks Nascimento a few times from his
back to keep him honest, and he is hanging on tight in hopes of a
referee standup. Boser has his hands clasped around the waist, and
this prohibits Nascimento from getting any significant leverage to
drop down noteworthy ground-and-pound. Boser explodes in hopes of
bucking the larger man off his hips, but when that does not
succeed, he sucks Nascimento back into his guard. Smith asks the
Brazilian to keep working or he will lose the position, and Boser
attempts multiple times to scramble. The Canadian works his way
towards the wall, and he spins through a back take attempt to drill
Nascimento with a few left hands. Nascimento stands up with his
back to the wire, and he gets uppercutted before Boser pushes off.
Boser sticks and moves with jabs and a leg kick, but one overhand
right from Nascimento shakes Boser up. Boser decides to clinch up
again to stop these strikes from landing, and he presses forward
with his shoulder on the chest to keep Nascimento pinned. Boser
sneaks an elbow up to break, and he kicks the body when they
separate. Nascimento fires off a high kick that misses the mark,
and he counters a leg kick with a pair of swatting hooks. Boser
rings Nascimento’s bell with a right hand, and the round ends.

Sherdog Scores

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Nascimento

Round 2

Nascimento is the immediate aggressor as he marches forward to
engage, and it is Boser who lands first with two looping punches.
Boser fires off a leg kick, Nascimento does the same, and the power
of Nascimento is giving Boser some issues. Boser is the sharper
striker, with jabs and straighter punches, but the looping strikes
from Nascimento are knocking the Canadian back even when guarded.
Boser sticks the jab and wings a hook, and Nascimento answers him
with the same blow. Boser snaps out several more jabs, and he has a
kick checked. Boser punches the body and remains mobile, and he
staggers Nascimento with a left hand. Boser loads up on several
more punches that careen off the guard, and he backs Nascimento up
with his barrage. Boser does not burn himself up or empty the gas
tank searching for a finish, and he goes back to his rhythm that
includes stance switches and active movement. “Yogi Bear” lumbers
forward, lobbing picnic baskets that are his massive fists, and
Boser takes a few on the chin but avoids the others. The forward
momentum from Nascimento allows him to dump Boser down to the
ground, and he falls forward and into a back take opportunity.
Boser defends his neck, but he sits up and punches behind his head.
As he does this, Nascimento snakes the arm around and ties up the
rear-naked choke. Boser signals to Smith that he is fine, and he
spins around to his back to escape the choke. Nascimento attempts
to move from half guard to the mount position, and Boser stops him
from doing so and spams short punches. Nascimento lands a pair of
blows as he rides out the round on top.

Sherdog Scores

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Boser
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Boser
Tristen Critchfield scores the round: 10-9 Boser

Round 3

The Brazilian starts out in an effort to stalk Boser down and
possibly close the distance for a takedown, but Boser is on his
bike. Nascimento is slower but still lands a few punches, while
Boser slips and jabs him. Boser gets caught with a short hook as he
tries to get in his groove, and Nascimento changes levels to secure
a tackling takedown. Boser hooks his arm over the fence and is not
called on it, but it does not prevent him from getting put on his
back. Nascimento smothers from on top, with Boser’s guard closed,
and Nascimento occasionally gets some strikes going from on top.
The Brazilian shifts to half guard, and Smith tells him to start
working. Nascimento hangs out on top and scores a few punches
before grabbing Boser’s left leg and holding it up strangely. Boser
tries to burst out of the posture, but he does not have the energy
or power to get the man 30-something pounds heavier off of him.
Nascimento lands a single right hand in hopes of staving Smith off,
and Boser recovers his guard. The Brazilian stays pinned to Boser
like a cheap suit, occasionally smacking him with a closed fist,
but doing little in the way of damaging ground strikes. Smith is
watching closely, and he intervenes to stand them up with 35
seconds left in the fight. Boser climbs to his feet and starts
throwing bombs, and he drills Nascimento with an uppercut when
Nascimento shoots for a takedown. Boser hurts the Brazilian with a
combination, and he tries to follow it with a head kick. Nascimento
responds with a knee to the body, and Boser chases him down and
swings everything he has with several punches until the grueling
matchup comes to an end.

(+340)

Round 1

The betting line for this middleweight brawl ending inside the
distance sits at a massive -535, with bettors almost certain a
finish will come before too long. Riding high on the momentum of a
dramatic win on the first episode of this year’s Contender Series,
Pyfer (9-2, 0-0 UFC) wants to keep it moving against the struggling
striker Amedovski (8-3, 0-3 UFC). Needing to be on his A-game will
be referee Chris Tognoni, who clocks them in prior to a glove
touch. Amedovski sweeps out with a kick that is a foot away from
the lead leg of his opponent, and Pyfer starts walking his foe
down. Amedovski kicks the body, and Pyfer responds with a left to
the body and a right to the head. Amedovski slips when trying to
throw a kick, but Pyfer does not take advantage of the situation.
Pyfer pushes out a jab but little more, and Amedovski keeps his
guard high and reaches out with a kick. Pyfer sneaks a right hand
around the guard, and another lands flush to follow as Amedovski
backs up to the fence. “Bodybagz” again rips a left to the
body-right up top combo, and Amedovski counters effectively.
Amedovski tries to back off the advancing Pyfer with kicks, but
they do little to slow the forward movement of the American. Pyfer
rings two punches up and backs off to evade the counter, and he
swings so hard with a right hand that he nearly falls over.
Amedovski chops at the lead calf on both sides, and he switches
things up with a head kick that skims off the side of the guard and
head. Amedovski jabs to the body as he backs up to the wall, and
they trade powerful punches. Pyfer stings Amedovski with a left
hand, and Amedovski responds with his own that forces Pyfer to take
a quick count of his teeth.
Pyfer tosses out a left uppercut, and he follows it with a
blistering right hand that pounds into the temple of his opponent
and sends him crashing to the ground. Amedovski sits on his seat in
a daze, looking up at Pyfer with his hands by his side, and
“Bodybagz” finishes the job with a lancing right hand that might
not have been necessary but forces Tognoni to dive in and protect
the Macedonian from any further harm.
The mantra of
this man had been “Be Joe Pyfer,” and he was exactly that, blasting
a knockout artist and announcing himself to the UFC in a big way on
his birthday of all days.

| ODDS: Fili (-130), Algeo (+110)

Round 1

Two blood-and-guts featherweights meet in the middle of the Octagon
next, when longtime vet Fili (21-9, 1 NC; 9-8, 1 NC UFC) tries to
keep his UFC record above .500. He will do so while attempting to
force Algeo’s (16-6, 3-2 UFC) own win-loss tally to even. Drawing
the charge for what should be an entertaining scrap will be
nonsense-averse referee Keith Peterson, who observes the fists
getting bumped ahead of the melee. Fili is the fast starter, coming
out with several hands in Algeo’s face. Fili fires off kicks from
both legs, and one gets the attention of Algeo and draws a smile
and glove touch from him. Fili is intense while Algeo is loose and
having fun, and he gets a kick checked and changes stances. They
trade punches from the outside, and Fili checks another kick and
connects cleanly with a pair of punches. Algeo leaves his hands by
his waist as he goads Fili to come at him, and he brings up a side
kick that collides off the guard. Fili changes the expression of
the Pennsylvanian with a pair of right hands, but Algeo does not
let the blows go unanswered as he chains a front kick into a few
big swings. Fili absorbs a leg kick and comes forward with a few
punches, and Algeo slips most of them but takes one on the jaw.
Fili wraps his foot around the head and drops Algeo to his knees,
and Fili follows him there with a guillotine choke. Algeo shakes
out of it and gathers his thoughts, and one more leg kick is
checked. Fili punches his way into a head kick, and the impact rips
open a cut on Algeo’s forehead. Algeo attempts to pay him back with
his own high kick, and he falls over when it gets blocked. Algeo
climbs back upright and bumps fists, and the two featherweights
start slugging it out. Fili fakes going high with a kick and marks
up the body, and he then chains it into huge head kick as his shin
impacts the chin. Algeo scores a side kick, so Fili decides to
answer him with an identical strike to draw a grin out of “Senor
Perfecto.” Fili powers his way forward into a clinch, and Algeo
breaks free as blood trickles into his eye. Algeo reaches with a
kick to the pectorals, and Fili keeps checking his kicks when they
go low. “Touchy” Fili touches Algeo with a few punches, and he
blocks a comeback kick with his elbow and points at it. The horn
sounds to end the fun round.

Sherdog Scores

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Fili
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Fili
Tristen Critchfield scores the round: 10-9 Fili

Round 2

The fists get bumped to start off the second round, and Algeo keeps
an advancing Fili at bay with multiple side kicks. Fili does check
a leg kick, and it does not appear to dissuade Algeo from throwing
them. Fili sticks out a few jabs, and part of his glove comes
untaped, which causes Peterson to pause the fight and get it cut
off. The action resumes with Fili marching forward, where he lands
a right hand behind the ear. Fili continues to connect on his
blows, and he starts to motion and showboat a little like Algeo did
in the previous round. Fili punches, and he swings his leg up and
over Algeo’s head, as Algeo ducks just in time. A stutter-step
approach from Algeo allows him to advance and get in on Fili, where
he cracks him with a punch and a high kick. Fili grabs hold of him
to get his wits about him, and they separate shortly afterwards.
Algeo appears more confident in finding his rhythm and he strings
together several punches, and Fili meets him with many in response.
A loud body kick from “Touchy” collides with the side, and Algeo
wears it well. Algeo stings Fili with a left hand, and Fili slips
back. They trade blows until they both start to start sucking wind,
and Algeo goes wild with a spinning kick to the ribcage. Algeo goes
up high with a spinning wheel kick, and it slams into the side of
Fili’s head. Fili catches Algeo coming in with a sharp right hand,
and he intercepts a kick with a left that stuns Algeo for a moment.
Fili comes forward and looses a low kick, and he doubles up a jab
to frustrate “Senor Perfecto.” Fili sits down on a body kick that
lands with an audible thud, and he scores a right and ducks away
while Algeo’s fist whizzes by his head. Algeo clinches up, and when
that does not materialize, he spams punches, a knee and a spinning
kick to the body. The close round comes to a close.

Sherdog Scores

Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Algeo

Round 3

There is a brief touch of gloves before the final frame opens, and
they started getting after it. Both men throw head kicks, and Algeo
turns to fire off multiple side kicks. Fili has a head kick skim
off his dome, and he comes forward and misses by a matter of
millimeters with his own swinging kick. Fili comes out swinging,
and he gets knocked back from a quick hook from “Touchy.” Fili jabs
and catches his man on the way in, and he blocks a head kick that
zooms at him. Fili darts forward, disrupting the movement and
securing a takedown in the center of the cage. Fili lands right in
half guard, and Algeo explodes to get up but inadvertently gives up
his back. Algeo turns back over as Fili snatches up an arm-triangle
choke, and Fili secures back control during a subsequent scramble.
Fili gets the hooks in and turns it into a body triangle, and he
measures and secures a rear-naked choke. The forearm is under the
chin, but Algeo is fighting the grip with all his might to break up
the choke. Algeo, surviving the submission attempts, starts landing
a long series of left hands behind his own head. Algeo starts
talking trash when these punches land, and he is getting busted up
from these unblocked and surprisingly powerful punches. The cut
from the first round on Algeo’s head is bleeding down the back of
his head and right into Fili’s eyes, obscuring his vision and
making him struggle. Algeo keeps punching without seeing his
target, and Fili sneaks the arm around throat again. Algeo is not
surrendering from any submission, and he is pounding on Fili
relentlessly but awkwardly, and may have bloodied up Fili’s nose.
The horn sounds, and scorecards could be all over the map after
this spirited scrap comes to a close.

| ODDS: Njokuani (-125), Rodrigues
(+105)

Round 1

Strap in, because this new co-main event is one that could end in a
flash. Dueling strikers Njokuani (22-7, 1 NC; 2-0 UFC) and
Rodrigues (12-4, 3-1 UFC) throw with bad intentions, and these
middleweights have the power to back it up. Referee Mark Smith has
his hands full for as long as this lasts, although the sluggers
show ample respect for one another in the form of a glove touch.
Njokuani paws out with a front kick, and he follows with three
more. These kicks act like jabs, and Rodrigues commits to a serious
low kick that draws a funny reaction out of Njokuani. “Robocop”
jabs to the body, and he charges to attack and runs straight into a
brutal knee. Rodrigues keeps on coming and throws hands even while
busted up, and Njokuani greets him with a few more powerful blows
to further damage the likely broken nose. Rodrigues pursues a
takedown, and they get back up without either man going to their
back. Njokuani stands him up in the clinch, and he starts hammering
Rodrigues with nasty strikes. Rodrigues goes after another
takedown, and that too results in them both scrambling up. Njokuani
lays into Rodrigues with an elbow that cuts him and several more
punches, and they separate. They throw front kicks at the same
time, and Njokuani reaches the mark first and takes the sting out
of the one coming at him. “Chidi Chidi Bang Bang” stalks forward
and blasts Rodrigues with a right hand, and Rodrigues takes an
awkward step and stays on his feet. Njokuani pours it on, and
Rodrigues answers him with a plethora of devastating uppercut and
elbows that wobble Njokuani. Of the two, Njokuani is now hurt more,
who winds up as far back as he can to deliver an elbow on the jaw.
Both fighters are shaken up but still on the feet, and they clinch
up to both get their wind and balance back. Njokuani digs several
knees to the body while up close, and they continue to catch their
respective breaths. Rodrigues lands a few knees to the body of his
own, and they trade single punches until the horn blares. The
doctor may have his work cut out for him between rounds, as there
is a massive cut across the entire bridge of his nose.
