Elkins dives down and latches onto Siler’s back with a body triangle, again looking for the rear-naked choke. It looks deep but Siler defends well, though he can’t shake the wrestler off his back. Heavy punches from Elkins have badly bloodied Siler’s nose. Siler gets off a few good elbows over his shoulder before getting caught in another RNC. Siler gives the thumbs-up to referee Marc-Andre Cote and Elkins lets go.

Elkins sticks a right hand, dodges wild punches from Siler and dives on a single-leg. Halfway through the round and Siler is on his back in the middle of the cage, trying to mount some offense from his back with Elkins in his guard. Siler pulls rubber guard, can’t do anything with it. He manages to get back to his feet when Elkins stands up to reposition, but Elkins double-legs him right back to the canvas. Siler gets up with 30 seconds to go, stuffs a shot from Elkins and frames up a brabo choke. Elkins extracts his head from the last-ditch sub attempt and should be on his way to a decision win.

Round 1

Round 1
Sakara swipes with long left hands to open the bout, but Cote finds his mark with a good right hand about 45 seconds in and then unloads. Sakara is injured, on the retreat as he eats a knee and more punches from Cote -- but just as suddenly, Sakara reverses the momentum as they work on the fence. He turns Cote around, lets go of the Thai plum and uses a pair of close-quarters elbows to put Cote down. Sakara tries to finish, pounding with hammerfists; the first few land on Cote’s shoulder blades, but the next eight or nine land square on the back of the Canadian’s head. Cote hits the deck, still clinging to Sakara’s leg, and referee Dan Miragliotta finally intervenes. Patrick Cote is awarded the win by disqualification at 1:26 of the first round.

Mark Hominick vs. Pablo Garza

Round 1
The featherweights exchange leg kicks and Garza has a few deflected up top. It’s the shorter Hominick pressing forward on the lanky “Scarecrow” Garza, who backs the Canadian off with long punches and an inside leg kick. Hominick comes right back in, pushing Garza toward the fence, but Garza charges out with a knee and a high outside leg kick. The give-and-take continues as the men take turns pushing forward, Hominick trying to stick stiff punches and Garza working with knees and kicks. Crisp right straight from Hominick, and a one-two follow-up has Garza covering up momentarily. They go to the mat and Garza swings his long legs up, trapping Hominick’s right arm in an armbar. Hominick lifts him up and is able to extract the limb before coming back down in Garza’s open guard. Body shots from Hominick as he sits up, then gets pushed off by Garza’s legs. Hominick lands a nasty left hook to Garza’s liver and Garza wilts. Hominick tries to pound him out, but Garza gets up and blasts him with a right hand. Hominick decks Garza with another uppercut, this time to the face, but it’s Hominick leaking blood from his left eye as the first round comes to a close.

Instead, Hominick puts his back on the mat with Garza in his closed guard. Garza scoots Hominick toward the fence, covering the Canadian’s mouth with his hand and landing the occasional hard left hand. They get to the edge of the cage and Garza postures up to throw some solid ground-and-pound, cutting Hominick open further. Hominick swings his hips for an armbar but Garza stands, pulls out and goes back into Hominick’s guard with about a minute to go. Short punches and lots of smothering from Garza gives way to hard, short elbows, and Hominick’s face is looking rough by the end of the period.

After a minute, though, Garza hits another takedown and gets back to work in Hominick’s guard, keeping busy with short hammerfists and grinding elbows. Hominick alternates between closed and butterfly guard, nearly pushing Garza away on a few occasions, but Garza is doing well to stay on top. Another near escape for Hominick as he tries an omoplata but again Garza keeps top position. Garza stands up to throw punches just before the horn; Hominick tries a last-ditch armbar that Garza slips out of.

Quick right hand from dos Anjos as he escapes, followed by a kick to the body. Dos Anjos kicks the body of Bocek, who goes after another single-leg and eats some elbows for his trouble.

He gets it but Bocek is active underneath, first going for a kimura and then an armbar. Dos Anjos steps over Bocek’s head and escapes after a moment. Bocek’s face is bloodied as he’s taken down against the cage again. Dos Anjos can’t properly take Bocek’s back, so he works from the side and pounds away as Bocek tries to turtle and escape. Bocek gets back to his feet momentarily, only to be slammed back down. When Bocek gets up with a few seconds left in the round, his face is a mess, blood dripping down into his eyes.

That’s as far as it goes, as dos Anjos pops back up and hits an easy takedown of his own. Dos Anjos spins to take Bocek’s back and Bocek goes for a standing kimura. It doesn’t stick but it’s enough to get dos Anjos to back off. Straight punches and a leaping knee from dos Anjos, then a grazing punch to the body. Bocek grabs for dos Anjos’ lead leg and dos Anjos immediately sprawls out. It’s Bocek clinching on the fence late in the final round but dos Anjos breaks free to land a few more shots before the end of the bout.

Carmont lands a nice knee to the gut and turns Lawlor around, but it doesn’t last long and Lawlor gets control back. There’s not enough action for referee Philippe Chartier, who breaks them up just past the 2:00 mark. Lawlor goes after a double-leg and Carmont sprawls on the fence, then cranks Lawlor’s left arm in a kimura. Lawlor gives up the position to free his arm, steps out and then shoves Carmont back into the fence. Carmont doesn’t stay put this time and the middleweights go back to striking with a minute left. Carmont comes in for a single-leg behind a leg kick and Lawlor snares him in a guillotine. Lawlor pulls guard with 30 seconds to go and wraps Carmont up tight. Carmont is spitting blood out of his mouth and manages to pop his head loose with seconds to spare. He socks Lawlor with one shot from top position right at the horn.

This causes Lawlor to drop back down, and this time he’s successful with his double-leg attempt. Carmont scrambles to his feet and covers up as Lawlor throws a pair of knees at his head. Carmont lands a knee to the body before Lawlor hits another takedown with a minute to go. Carmont swings his hips for a triangle, changes to an armbar.
