Naoki Inoue vs. Matt Schnell

Round 1
Schnell finds success with his left hand in the opening round, faking a level-change and then coming upstairs to pop Inoue with a speedy hook. Inoue starts to find his range toward the middle of the frame, sticking Schnell with jabs and short left hooks, well-timed counters to the American’s leg kicks. 10-9 Inoue.

Round 2
Schnell does better to avoid the hands of Inoue in the second stanza, instead keeping to the outside and landing low kicks on the taller man. The fake shot-to-left hand is still working for the American as well. “Danger” is sticking some good jabs and countering Inoue’s kicks now, though the Japanese fighter is still having success with his long, speedy jabs. Late in the round, Schnell sidesteps a teep kick and comes back at Inoue with a pair of hard counters. 10-9 Schnell.

Round 3
Inoue goes straight after a takedown on the fence, but Schnell is able to resist the prospect’s deep single-leg attempt. Inoue lands a few knees as the flyweights battle in the clinch, but it’s Schnell exiting the tie-up with a left hand. Inoue looks to be the aggressor in the latter half of the final frame, whereas Schnell had been moving forward for much of the first two rounds. Neither man is particularly busy or dominant down the stretch, but it’s Inoue who raises his hands in victory when the final horn sounds. 10-9 Inoue (29-28 Inoue).

Carls John de Tomas vs. Alex Perez

Round 1
Perez opens with kicks to the lead leg and body of de Tomas, who swings punches in return but can't land anything clean on the UFC rookie. De Tomas counters Perez's next entry with a short right hand to the temple that forces Perez to reset. The boxing and counterstriking of de Tomas starts to pick up in the second minute, and the Filipino shuts down Perez's first takedown attempt of the bout. Perez pulls de Tomas down to his knees, where the Californian slaps on D'arce choke setup and rolls de Tomas onto his side. De Tomas resists the choke, but Perez isn't finished working for the sub, now switching to a modified guillotine as he keeps de Tomas on his knees. With two minutes left, de Tomas climbs back to his feet, freeing his neck. Perez thwarts de Tomas' takedown attempt, however, putting de Tomas on his knees once again. Perez starts hunting for another choke, looping his right arm around de Tomas' neck and looking to grab his bicep on the other side. De Tomas defends well, his head glued to the ground until he's able to drive forward on Perez's legs. Perez widens his base at the fence with 30 seconds left and elbows de Tomas in the head before forcing him to the ground. Perez hits de Tomas with a hard elbow through the guard before time expires.

Round 2
Perez snatches up a quick single-leg takedown, landing in side control on de Tomas' left side just 20 seconds into the round. Perez immediately begins working for a kimura, and when he can't secure that, the UFC newcomer drops a heavy elbow on de Tomas' face. De Tomas rolls to his knees, but Perez is reaching across his body, trapping his left hand. Perez lands right hands to de Tomas' unprotected face, now drives a big knee into his ribs. De Tomas is getting roughed up on the floor through 90 seconds of the round, and now Perez starts to frame up another choke attempt. De Tomas isn't prepared for this one, and when Perez applies the anaconda choke and rolls onto his side, de Tomas is forced to tap out.
