Fabricio Werdum vs. Brandon Vera

Round 1 - Fighters come out to center of cage, clinch. Vera pushes Werdum against the fence, Werdum reverses. A lot of clinching going on. Werdum grabs a single-leg and takes Vera down. Werdum is active in Vera's full guard with hammerfists. Vera pushes off, stands up. Good left hand and then short elbow from Vera. Back to center of cage. Fighters are tied up along the fence, takedown by Werdum. Passes to Vera's half-guard. Werdum gets the mount. Starts throwing punches, but Vera has his hands up. And the ref jumps in to stop the fight.

Werdum wins via ref stoppage in Rd. 1. Controversial stoppage for sure. Vera immediately gets up and complains about the fight being stopped. Vera seems to have a case - he was covering up, few shots were getting in, and only a few seconds left in the round.

This is one that will keep going on the messageboards...

Nathan Marquardt vs. Thales Leites

Round 1 - Dancing around, then a good exchange for both along the fence. Leites dropps Marquardt with a right hand, jumps on top, gets full mount. Marquardt is holding Thales tight and gets him in his half-guard. Thales passes again to side-control, but Marquardt gets back to his feet. Back to the center of the cage. Nate lands a good body shot, shoots in, and Leites defends the takedown. Marquardt lands a good uppercut, wobbles Thales. But can't finish him before the round ends. Back and forth, too close to call the round. Both landed effective shots and did some damage.

Round 2 - A right to the body, then to the head opens up the round for Nate. Clinch up along the fence. Nate lands a good punch combo and pushes Thales up against the fence. Nate lands a knee to Leites's face while he's on the ground, which is illegal. Time is called to see if Thales can recover and keep fighting. Doctor comes in to check, Leites says he's okay. Point taken from Nate. Fight continues. Marquardt has Leites on his back, up against the fence. Starts landing some good shots, and Leites is bleeding a little bit. Really good ground-and-pound from Marquardt. Both fighters are starting to look winded. Nate lands more shots from top position. Action slows, Herb Dean stands them back up. Nate shoots in, but Thales defends and reverses, gets the mount. But the clock puts an end to Thales's good position. Nate takes that round easily, 10-9, but should be 9-9 because of the point deduction.
