Joel Alvarez vs. Danilo Belluardo

Round 1 – Alvarez on his kicks early, and he follows with a combo that scores. Belluardo looks to cut an angle and takes the lead leg when his punches come up short. Alvarez’s height is a problem, so leg attacks are the easy get. Alvarez presses forward and puts his hands on target. Belluardo ducks under and gets an easy takedown. In half-guard, he gets wrapped up by Alvarez, and action stalls. Guard is regained by Alvarez, and that helps Belluardo strike. On his feet, Belluardo looks for strikes. But his best work is his ground and pound on his knees. Another pass misses with one minute left. Elbow bounces Alvarez’s head. Armbar attempt misses for Alvarez. Alvarez throws up a triangle as Belluardo misses on a pass, and time runs out. MMA Junkie scores the frame 10-9 for Belluardo.

Round 2 – Back to kicks for Alvarez, and he leaps in with a knee to the chops. He’s pressing Belluardo, who fires back with an inside elbow. A little too hot for Belluardo upstairs, and Alvarez’s forward momentum aids an easy takedown. Time to pass, and he gets to half-guard as Alvarez boxes his ears. Quarter mount for Belluardo is brief for Belluardo, who gets turned over and takes elbows and punches on his side. At first, they look like transition shots, but after a dozen or so of them, Belluardo is really hurt. No wonder, because his head had nowhere to go as Alvarez pounded. Plus, Alvarez had an arm trapped. Nice TKO for Alvarez.
