Ali Bagautinov vs. Tim Elliott

Round 1
Bagautinov circles to his left around the outside while Elliott walks after him with his chin stuck out and his hands by his waist. Bagautinov throws a couple heavy right hooks, dodged by Elliott, who continues to invite the Russian to punch him. Elliott wades in behind some awkward left hands, tries to tie up and gets shoved away. Bagautinov dazes Elliott with a knee and a punch, causing Elliott to grab for a single-leg, which Bagautinov steps out of. Elliott is showing redness from the strikes beneath his right eye as he keeps chasing Bagautinov around the cage. Bagautinov reverses momentum and puts Elliott on the floor with a quick takedown, but Elliott posts and stands immediately. Bagautinov is fending off Elliott with quicker punches, tries another single-leg and gets stood up against the fence. Elliott drops his hands and steps backward at the 10-second clapper, allowing Bagautinov to score with a pair of punches and a head kick before the horn.

Round 2
The flyweights resume their chase from the opening round, with Elliott chasing the Russian around the outside and Bagautinov making him pay for slack defense with speedy hands. Elliott steps in with a knee and gets taken down, but the American pulls guard with a guillotine on his way down. Bagautinov tries to sit up, can’t peel Elliott’s hands away, so he lifts and slams his way out. Elliott takes advantage of the slam by powering forward and settling into Bagautinov’s open guard. Elliott works some ground-and-pound to the body and head until Bagautinov tries for an armbar, forcing Elliott to stand and escape. Bagautinov lands a right over the top, then an uppercut on the chin as Elliott continues to walk forward. Bagautinov hits a single-leg but Elliott scrambles out, then slips the follow-up ankle pick attempt. This time, it’s Elliott who gets the last work in the round with a short left hook.

Round 3
Bagautinov sticks jabs in the face of the oncoming Elliott, then switches to right hands over the top. Elliott is finding his mark with jabs, too, but Bagautinov’s punches still look to be quicker and harder. After absorbing a few kicks to his lead leg, Bagautinov switches stances and begins scoring with his left hand. Elliott eats a left to the mush and counters with a snappy three-piece combo, one of his better offensive sequences of the bout. Ninety seconds left and the final round still seems up for grabs as Elliott tries and fails to clinch, but makes Bagautinov pay with punches inside. In the closing seconds, Bagautinov sticks a hard, straight right in Elliott’s face and follows with a left hook. Elliott gets the last word, though, with a whipping trip takedown to close out the fight.

John Lineker vs. Marlon Vera

Round 1
Vera lines up in the southpaw stance in the center of the cage, towering above the 5-foot-3 Lineker, who works cautiously around the outside. Neither flyweight looks to be in any rush to engage, with a full minute ticking off the clock before Vera hits Lineker with a hard leg kick. Vera backs up Lineker with a blocked high kick, then goes back to the legs with a pair of kicks. Vera switches to orthodox as he goes to his back foot, now with Lineker pressing forward. Lineker's offense still hasn't picked up, although he has touched Vera with a few low kicks. The Brazilian crowd starts to boo the lack of action, then comes alive when Lineker steps forward on Vera with a left hand to the body. Back to the body goes Lineker, this time followed by a left hook to the jaw of "Chito." Vera gets backed up to the wall, where he covers up as Lineker goes body-head with a heavy surge of punches.

Round 2
Lineker catches a kick but can't capitalize on it before Vera pulls away and circles off. Lineker whiffs on a spinning kick and takes a pair of kicks to the legs before he's able to close in on Vera and land a few shots against the fence. Vera eats a straight right, tries to surprise Lineker with a question mark kick, and Lineker comes away from the exchange smiling. Vera grabs the shorter man in the Thai clinch and tries to decapitate Lineker with knees up the middle, but Lineker pulls away and goes back to punching with 3:00 on the clock. Lineker is loading up with big right hands now, now sticks an overhand left on Vera's jaw. Vera creates space with a long left hand and a leg kick, now another low kick which draws a grin from the Brazilian. Vera is showing off his beard as he absorbs some heavy right hands from Lineker, who trips the Ecuadorian to the floor in the center of the cage with 40 seconds left. Lineker tries to pound out Vera with elbows and left hands on the canvas, but Vera climbs back to his feet just before the horn.

Round 3
Lineker swings his way into the pocket and shoves Vera against the wall when "Chito" tries to use the Thai clinch. The 135ers separate and move back to the center of the cage, where Vera lands a jump knee and narrowly misses with a left high kick. Lineker catches a kick, blocks a knee in the Thai clinch and hustles Vera back to the fence, where they stay until the 3:20 mark. Vera continues to chop at Lineker's legs, now goes to the body; Lineker answers with a ripping right hook to Vera's ribs. Vera is doing well to keep Lineker at range in this round, countering the smaller man's advances with high knees. Vera continues to try and find a knockout knee in the Thai plum, but Lineker is wary of the strikes and blocks them each time before shoving Vera against the fence. Vera is still trying to find Lineker's chin with knees and kicks when the final horn sounds.
