Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET, followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm.

He just hugged him ... he did not throw, not land, THROW one ground strike in the 3rd round!!! Just on volume of offense alone Camozzi should take it ... enough rewarding TDs when nothing's done!!!

When they said a judge gave it to Camozzi, I was hoping for a robbery. That fact that I had that thought was just plain sad...

I thought Bruno was going to win by doing exactly what he did. MMA needs a serious rule change. If you are stuck in a guy's guard and unable to do anything from there, you are LOSING the fight.

@idrownfish, that would certainly give extra incentive to get up, from the guy on bottom.

@mikeyg Well, he would look to get up if he was losing, and he would stay on the ground if he was winning. If you are inside a guys guard, it is YOU who are looking to pass and cause damage, while the other guy is waiting for a mistake. If you can't pass his guard or do any ground and pound, yes you are losing the fight and the guy on the bottom should look to stay on the bottom.

I think Camozzi did more with his elbows from the bottom than Santos did from the top in both rounds

@idrownfish, I agree, the only caveat I would give is that if the guy is on bottom and landing lots and lots of shots, similar to that of King Mo vs Mousasi, I would probably side with Mousasi in that case, but I would agree that if you're on bottom, you're losing unless you are really threatening the guy on top. Which Camozzi was not, which is why I agree with the decision as well.

If there's anything my picks can tell us there is a good chance Alcantara loses.

I like Kenny Robertson. He takes it to the ground and does things, unlike some Santos.
