Alexey Butorin vs. Leandro Ataides 3:18 R2. Ataides has an Americana on for about 90 seconds & torquing it into positions that are hard to even watch & and then works for it again & but Butorin somehow seems unphased. Butorin hurts Ataides late in the 2nd with a right hook & and proceeds to land a bunch of unanswered shots & hurting him again with an uppercut then finishing him with a high kick when Ataides is trying to run to safety.
Koji Ando vs. Roger Huerta 3R UD. Huerta is a fun fighter to watch partly because he likes to mix it up & partly because he just enjoys himself out there, always smiling & being enthusiastic about the process. Huerta came out trying to defend first, using his speed & head movement to avoid & then fire back with his diverse & unpredictable striking game. Huerta did a nice job of switching stances, and it seemed like his gameplan should have worked, but Ando, who was literally just out there boxing, was too accurate, particularly with his straight punches. Ando was stalking Huerta & walking him down, and while Huerta would try to push back aggressively, even though he would land some shots he wasn't hurting Ando or striking any fear into him. Huerta connected with a lot of teeps & roundhouse kicks, but again, none of them really did what they were supposed to as Ando was able to walk through them. Huerta tried to change things up to start the 2nd, coming out fast with kicks to set up the takedown but Ando defended & began to walk Huerta down again. Huerta was slowing down as Ando's pressure kept him against the cage taking more straights, and it was much more of a scrap in the 2nd half. Huerta circled off midway through the 2nd & tried a 1-2 combo, but Ando answered with his own, stunning him. Huerta struggled hard for the desperation takedown, but ate a knee & got battered with hooks on the inside on the break. Huerta tried to fight his way through, and this was some kind of crazy brawling as they just swung wildly until Huerta's takedown failed again & he got battered on the ground. Ando was able to sustain his game throughout, whereas Huerta's legs & head movement were nowhere near the same in the 2nd half. Still, Huerta wouldn't give up or somehow even go down, and made a big push at the end, brawling until the final bell. Huerta landed some good hooks on the inside down the stretch, though he took some as well, the brawling was a better distance for him in that Ando was better at technical boxing using his straights than this sort of winging. Huerta was never able to hurt Ando, and while there was a great pace throughout & ton of action, it was an easy call for Ando. Very good match.
