Ryan LaFlare vs. Roan Carneiro Round 1 The southpaw LaFlare takes the center of the cage and, after 30 seconds or so, lands a thudding kick to Carneiro's midsection. Carneiro answers with a few leg kicks as he continues to circle the outside. LaFlare closes in again, lands the same body kick to Carneiro's right side. Another body kick connects, and this time LaFlare presses in to push Carneiro against the fence. They disengage after a few seconds, LaFlare closes the gap, but now Carneiro is waiting with a right hand. LaFlare grabs for a takedown but quickly abandons the shot. "Jucao" tries a takedown of his own and gets rolled to the ground by LaFlare with an underhook. Carneiro tries to shrimp inside and attack LaFlare's legs, but the New Yorker pushes down on Carneiro's head, and now both men come back to their feet.

Round 2 Just as he did in round one, LaFlare attacks Carneiro with heavy body kicks in the opening minute of the second frame. Carneiro slips to the ground at the base of the fence as he backpedals to avoid LaFlare's advance, and LaFlare follows him to the floor. The Brazilian slows LaFlare with closed guard, wrapping up the top man's left arm to limit space for ground-and-pound. The welterweights come back to their feet with 3:00 on the clock; 30 seconds later, LaFlare ducks under a hook and shoots a double. Carneiro threatens with a headlock as he defends the takedown, so LaFlare bails out and goes back to advancing. As he's backed up to the fence, Carneiro takes a left hand to the temple and slides to the ground. LaFlare gives chase again, trying to pound out his wounded opponent, but Carneiro gets a headlock from half-guard to slow things down again. LaFlare pops his head free and postures up briefly to land an elbow, but it's slow going here in the final minute. Referee Dan Miragliotta calls for action, then warns Carneiro for looping his toes in the chain-link fence. Sherdog Scores Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-8 LaFlare

Round 3 LaFlare begins the final round with more pressure, moving Carneiro backward to the fence. LaFlare whiffs on a spinning back-kick but transitions straight into an effortless double-leg takedown. Unable to establish an advantageous position on the mat, LaFlare backs up and the welterweights come back to their feet. LaFlare is keeping things tighter in this round, giving Carneiro very little space on the fence and now coming back to clinch with just over half the round remaining. Carneiro pushes back to the center, where LaFlare jams a left hand in the jiu-jitsu black belt's face. Carneiro moves backward again, waits for a knee strike from LaFlare and grabs hold of the leg. LaFlare gets pushed backward to the fence but reverses the position. It's "Jucao" who wins out in the clinch, tripping LaFlare to the ground, but now LaFlare works on a kimura from the bottom. Carneiro frees his arm with just about one minute left, now working from LaFlare's half guard. Carneiro is looking for an arm-triangle choke, wraps up LaFlare's head and left arm, then steps over to full mount. LaFlare resists the choke and deflects Carneiro's last-ditch ground-and-pound until the horn. Sherdog Scores Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Carneiro (29-27 LaFlare)

Rick Glenn vs. Phillipe Nover Round 1 Nover swings wide punches over the top and clips the rangy southpaw Glenn, who moves forward and tries to land long punches. Nover scores with a body kick-left hand combo, and a few seconds later lands a left high kick to the side of Glenn's head. Glenn absorbs the kick and strikes back with a short, hard left hand before Nover gets out of the pocket. More circling on the feet through the middle of the round, Glenn looking to close the gap but running into some counter hooks from the shorter man. Nover goes upstairs with the left high kick again, and once again Glenn just eats it. Glenn catches a kick and forces Nover to yank the leg back, then sprint away to avoid being countered. Glenn looks for a late takedown but can only corral Nover against the fence. Sherdog Scores Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Nover

Round 2 Nover lines up southpaw at the start of round two but continues to lob left high kicks at Glenn's head. Back to orthodox goes Nover as Glenn tries to pressure forward; Nover's counter left hook has already landed a few times in the first minute of the round. Glenn sprawls well on a poor shot from Nover, then continues pressuring the UFC vet backward to the fence. Glenn spends the better part of a minute hunting for a takedown, repeatedly switching levels. Nover defends well with his back on the wall, now takes an opportunity to fire a few knees at the leaning Glenn's head. Nover is scoring with short punches in the clinch, too, while Glenn's hands are tied up. The featherweights split with one minute on the clock; Glenn goes under a left high kick and comes back with a flush left hand to Nover's jaw. Glenn puts Nover back on the fence and lands a pair of knees in the Thai clinch; Nover answers with a standing elbow as time expires. Sherdog Scores Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Glenn

Round 3 Nover snaps off two or three solid jabs in the first minute of the final round, while Glenn works his opponent's lead leg with kicks. Two more stiff jabs connect for Nover, who has a high kick caught by Glenn, but he whirls around to hit "The Gladiator" with a fadeaway spinning backfist. Glenn closes in to press Nover against the fence with an underhook, then drops to try a single-leg shot. As he did in round two, Nover is getting the better of this position, landing strikes to the side of Glenn's head while Glenn is focused on a takedown which doesn't materialize. Referee Yves Lavigne separates the fighters inside the two-minute mark, but Glenn soon goes for another takedown. Nover extracts himself from the position this time, popping Glenn with another jab on the way out. Glenn's face is red from the punches, and now he absorbs another left hook, a right straight. Back to the clinch they go, Glenn on the outside again, now stomping on Nover's feet. Nover gets tripped to the ground but gets right back up; Glenn holds him on the cage and gets the final word with a pair of slashing elbows in the Thai clinch.

Nik Lentz vs. Islam Makhachev Round 1 Lentz latches on to an early kick from Makhachev and tries to hustle the sambo specialist against the fence, but Makhachev quickly spins him around and then trips him to the floor. Lentz grabs a no-arm headlock but can't cinch the guillotine as Makhachev repositions in half guard and pops his head loose. Lentz uses butterfly guard to elevate, but before he can get up, Makhachev dives back on top to keep the American grounded. Heavy top pressure from Makhachev here as the lightweights hit the midway point of round one. Lentz is shifting and trying to pivot underneath but can't seem to get anything going. Makhachev postures up to land a few punches, gets kicked away again, and this time Lentz is able to jump back to his feet. It's only a matter of seconds before Makhachev hits another trip and has Lentz down at the base of the fence again. Lentz goes fishing for the guillotine again in the final 30 seconds; Makhachev is caught in the headlock but does not seem to be in trouble, and he rides out the remainder of the round.

Round 2 Makhachev has a left high kick blocked, then goes to the chest of Lentz with a front kick up the center. Lentz answers with a body kick of his own but takes a pair of punches from Makhachev on the counter. Another left high kick from Makhachev buzzes Lentz's head; when Lentz tries to swing punches in return, Makhachev backpedals, stops and wraps up the incoming American in the clinch. Another trip lands for Makhachev, who has Lentz back on the ground with more than three and a half minutes left in the round. Lentz uses butterfly hooks to elevate but can't escape from underneath Makhachev, who's bearing down heavy on top with a shoulder pressed against Lentz's throat. Lentz tries the guillotine again but releases as Makhachev nearly steps over to full mount. Leaning left to right across Lentz's body, Makhachev looks to be framing up an arm-triangle choke. Makhachev steps off to side control, but he's on the wrong side to finish the choke, so he tries to work a shoulder choke instead. Makhachev steps over to full mount with 25 seconds left; Lentz goes belly-down and then rolls to a knee, not allowing Makhachev to land anything in the closing moments.

Round 3 Lentz comes out aggressive, swinging at Makhachev with power punches and spinning backfists, but it's a body kick from Makhachev that appears to do the first real damage of the round. Lentz wraps up the Russian with a body lock and hugs him against the fence; Makhachev hits a lovely trip and puts Lentz on his back once again. Lentz still appears to be looking for the guillotine from underneath, but it's not there so far in this round. Makhachev works for a quick armlock, gives it up and instead drops short elbows and punches on Lentz's face. Lentz tries to sit up, gets stuffed back down and mounted. Lentz gives up his back, leading to heavier punches from Makhachev, thudding left hands that have referee Kevin MacDonald taking a closer look at the action. Makhachev switches to a rear-naked choke, but Lentz peels away one of his hooks and escapes the choke, then jumps to his feet. Lentz tries to hold Makhachev on the wall in the final seconds, but Makhachev trips him to the ground one last time.
