Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes
Round 1: Camoes lands a right leg head kick very early. Crowd is impressed. He then shoots for the single leg and takes Uno down. Uno gets back up right away. Camoes lands a combo, which stuns Uno, but he doesn't fall down. So Camoes grabs him from the back and takes him down in rear naked choke position. Camoes doesn't quite sink his arm under Uno's chin allowing Uno to escape and eventually get up. This excites the pro-Uno crowd greatly. Round ends with Uno landing strikes in Camoes' guard, but he doesn't do enough to win the round. FanHouse scores the round 10-9 in favor of Camoes.
Round 2: Camoes is very aggressive to start the round and comes at him right away with punches. He takes Uno down with a belly-to-belly. Camoes gets docked a point, though, for an illegal upkick while Uno is in his guard. The fighters eventually stand up and Camoes' striking continues to look good. Round ends with little action on the ground. Camoes should have won that round but doesn't do to the point deduction. FanHouse scores the round 10-9 in favor of Camoes (1 point deduction).
Round 3: Uno attempts a spinning back fist, but it doesn't land. Jose Aldo is sitting in the first row showing instructions at Camoes louder than any corner. Uno is in Camoes' guard. He is trying for multiple submissions, but Camoes is doing a good job defending. Round ends with Uno in Camoes' guard landing strikes. FanHouse scores the round 10-9 in favor of Uno.
Fabricio Camoes vs. Caol Uno is declared a majority draw (29-27, 28-28, 28-28).
George Sotiropoulos vs. Jason Dent
Round 1: Both guys start off in a feeling out process. Dent looks a little out of shape. Sotiropoulos is a lot more active with his head movement and combinations. At the halfway mark, Sotiropoulos shoots for the double-leg takedown and lands in Dent's half guard position. He postures up and eventually passes guard into side control. Dent tries to escape, but in the process gives up his back. Sotiropoulos tries for a rear naked choke, but then decides to strike, which allows Dent to turn around. Round ends with Sotiropoulos in full mount raining blows. FanHouse scores the round 10-9 in favor of Sotiropoulos.
Round 2: This round starts off very much the same way as the first round did. Sotiropoulos controls center of the Octagon. He eventually catches a Dent kick and takes him down. Once again, Dent makes the mistake of giving up his back, but Sotiropoulos can't fully capitalize. Sotiropoulos is showing off his solid jiu-jitsu skills by attempting several submission holds. He eventually locks in an armbar and Dent quickly taps.
