Round 1
Greenway switches from southpaw to orthodox as she inches forward
on Click, who bounces on her toes and swings heavy right hooks to
keep her opponent out of range. Click flashes a high kick, lands a
jab behind it and then an inside leg kick. Still very measured,
cautious striking from both women as they hit the midway point of
round one. Greenway lands an inside leg kick, tries to walk in
behind it and gets swept out of the pocket with a right hand. Click
pushes Greenway backward, then waits for her to bounce off the
fence and sends a pair of punches down the center. Another right
hand gets the attention of Greenway in the final minute, and a
clean left hook reddens her face in the closing seconds of the
round. 10-9 Click.
Round 2
Greenway finds some success with leg kicks as the second frame
begins, but her punches are still being picked off by Click’s
harder, more accurate counters. Click is stalking now, marching
forward on Greenway with her right hand cocked. Greenway continues
to land leg kicks as she backpedals, though her spinning backfist
attempts are repeatedly met by hard counters from Click. Still on
the march, Click walks down Greenway near the fence and zaps her
with a pair of hard jabs. Greenway is on her bike, constantly
backpedaling to escape the pressure. Greenway grazes with a
spinning punch or elbow in the final 20 seconds, only to be tagged
back with punches as she tries to push Click against the cage. 10-9
Click.

Greenway took a decision from Click.
Click picks up where she left off, walking forward on Greenway with
little concern and her right hand loaded up to strike. Greenway is
starting to find the mark with jabs off her back foot, and now she
changes levels to take Click to the ground for the first time about
90 seconds into the round. Greenway jumps on Click’s back in the
scramble and tries to lock up a body triangle. Click looks to be
escaping out the backdoor, so Greenway transitions to a triangle
choke attempt. They wind up in an awkward position, with Greenway
on her left side, holding Click in a loose triangle. Click has her
head on the mat and one knee on the ground, trying to stack up and
escape from the hold which has trapped her head and left arm.
Meanwhile, Greenway is connecting with punches and elbows to
Click’s exposed face. With 30 seconds remaining and no tap in
sight, Greenway transitions to an armbar, but Click rips her limb
free. Greenway grabs for the arm again but runs out of time, and
this one will be decided by the judges. 10-8 Greenway (28-28
Draw).

Round 1
Ladd moves quickly across the cage and digs an underhook to pin the
larger McGill against the fence. A few knees land inside for Ladd
before McGill turns her around, and now the fighters jockey for
position in the clinch. Ladd gets the upper hand and drags McGill
to the mat with a bodylock takedown. Ladd takes the back of McGill
in short order but only establishes one hook at first, allowing
McGill some space to try an escape. Ladd stays after it and
eventually gets the second hook in, though her right arm is being
trapped by McGill underneath. McGill rolls belly down and Ladd is
back to one hook with just over two minutes on the clock. Ladd
switches to throwing knees at McGill’s body while trying to free
her trapped arm, but McGill refuses to let go. Inside the final
minute, Ladd gets aggressive in her pursuit of a rear-naked choke.
When she can’t get McGill’s throat, Ladd postures up on her
opponent’s back and unloads with punches while McGill kneels. Ladd
is still in complete control as the round ends but can’t find a
finish before the bell. 10-8 Ladd.
Round 2

Ladd put McGill away late.
Straight back to the clinch goes Ladd, burying the top of her head
underneath McGill’s chin to make things uncomfortable on the
inside. Ladd struggles to drag McGill back to the ground, but after
a call for action from referee Mark Smith, Ladd gives it a second
effort and drags her down. McGill once again traps Ladd’s right arm
as she kneels, so Ladd postures up from the side and begins
unloading with left hands to McGill’s face. McGill is just using
the arm to survive underneath, doing nothing but trying to prevent
Ladd from attacking. Ladd finally gets the limb free with two
minutes on the clock and stands over McGill to try and reposition
herself. McGill uses her long legs to kick away the smaller woman,
but Ladd never gets backed up far enough for McGill to jump back to
her feet. With 80 seconds left, Ladd comes back down to the canvas,
but McGill’s shifty guard soon makes her stand again. Referee Smith
orders the fighters back to their feet with 50 seconds on the
clock; 20 seconds later, Ladd has McGill back on the ground and is
dropping punches from side control. Ladd ends the round by
straddling McGill’s head and framing up a kimura. 10-8 Ladd.
Round 3
Within 10 seconds of the round opening, Ladd has trapped McGill
against the fence with an underhook. Within 60 seconds, McGill is
once again on her back, trying to isolate one of Ladd’s arms to
stay alive on the bottom. This time, Ladd doesn’t give up the arm
easily and instead is able to advance deep into McGill’s half
guard. Ladd goes to knee-on-belly position and postures up to land
her best ground-and-pound of the fight so far, bashing McGill with
heavy elbows and hammerfists. McGill rolls to her side and covers
up, and referee Smith has seen enough. Late replacement Aspen Ladd
steps in and gets a dominant stoppage victory in the third
round.

Round 1
Lee scores first with an inside leg kick and a right hand over the
top which pushes D’Alelio backward. “The Monster” comes back with a
hard, short hook in the next exchange, then tries to hold Lee
against the fence, without success. Lee swings and misses with a
big right hand but dings the body of D’Alelio with a knee on her
way out of the pocket. Lee getting busy with push and leg kicks,
now two minutes into the round. D’Alelio is already wearing some
redness on her nose and face from Lee’s snappy punches. Lee swings
a big left hand as she lunges forward; it bounces off D’Alelio’s
glove, but the follow-through right hand from Lee finds its mark on
the face. Good movement from Lee as she steps off a wide overhand
from D’Alelio and comes back to counter. Lee mixing it up now,
going body-head and sprinkling in leg kicks. A heavy pair of hooks
pushes D’Alelio backward to the fence, where Lee grabs her in the
Thai plum and sends two or three good knees upstairs. Lee closes
out the round with one last left hook. 10-9 Lee.
Round 2
D’Alelio pushes forward on “KGB” in the opening minute of the
second frame, eating some more jabs and absorbing leg kicks in
order to get inside. Once she finally gets hold of Lee, D’Alelio is
unable to corral her, and Lee circles away to continue her
striking. D’Alelio keeps coming and catches Lee near the wall
again, this time wrapping her up around the body and dragging her
to the canvas. Lee throws short punches and elbows off her back
while D’Alelio goes heavy in deep half guard, considering her next
move. D’Alelio tries to wrap up Lee’s head but can’t get a choke
cinched up before the Louisiana native spins to her knees and
escapes. Back up they come, D’Alelio still holding Lee’s head in a
loose headlock which is soon broken up. Back in the center of the
cage, Lee dives for D’Alelio’s ankles in an awkward failed takedown
attempt. D’Alelio easily stuffs the shot and nearly takes her
opponent’s back before Lee is able to power back to her feet. The
flyweights stay tangled as they stand, and now it’s Lee hurling
D’Alelio to the ground. D’Alelio throws up a triangle in the waning
seconds of the round but can’t make anything materialize before
time runs out. 10-9 D’Alelio.
Round 3

D’Alelio choked Lee into submission.
Lee puts a kick on the inside of D’Alelio’s lead leg and snaps off
a jab down the center. D’Alelio touches Lee’s face with a jab but
gets backed up with a switch kick to the body. A brief Thai clinch
allows Lee to score with a pair of knees up the middle before
pushing D’Alelio to the fence. They fight back to the center where
D’Alelio pushes Lee away, but “The Monster” may be fading here as
Lee is able to corral her again within seconds. More punches from
Lee open a cut on the bridge of D’Alelio’s swollen nose. D’Alelio
wraps up Lee for a takedown near the halfway point of the round,
but within 30 seconds, Lee has kicked her away and scrambled back
to her feet. Lee hits a huge head-and-arm throw to put D’Alelio on
her back, drops some elbows on the Strikeforce vet but can’t keep
her underneath. D’Alelio sits up and drives forward on Lee’s legs,
sweeping to top position and then straddling Lee’s head to hunt for
a kimura. Lee keeps the arm safe but now surrenders her back,
allowing D’Alelio to jump on and flatten her out, belly down.
D’Alelio wraps her right arm around Lee’s neck and squeezes tight;
Lee resists for a moment but soon has to tap out before the
rear-naked choke puts her to sleep.

Round 1
The southpaw Frey checks the first leg kick from Tiburcio and sends
back a long jab at the shorter woman. Tiburcio is on the move
early, walking forward on Frey but having some difficulty
navigating the distance. About two minutes in, after eating more
than a few jabs, Tiburcio sends a right-handed rocket down the
middle which gets Frey’s attention. Tiburcio covers up to block a
flurry of punches and leaves herself open for a body kick on the
end of the combination. Leg kicks continue to land for the
ex-Invicta titleholder, while Frey is still doing well off her back
foot, giving Tiburcio a hard time from range. Frey connects with
two hard left hooks in the closing seconds of the opening round.
10-9 Frey.
Round 2
(+ Enlarge) | Photo: D. Mandel/Sherdog.com
Frey upset a former champ in Tiburcio.
Tiburcio continues her constant forward pressure and keeps putting
kicks on the already bruised inside of Frey’s right leg. Frey is
still finding a home on the Brazilian’s face for some snappy hooks,
but Tiburcio seems unfazed and in fact only swings more punches as
she’s being hit. There’s more pressure, more leg-kicking from
Tiburcio through the middle of the round. Frey misses with a left
over the top and leaves her head hanging for Tiburcio to deliver a
right hand. Tiburcio is chopping away at both sides of Frey’s lead
leg, which is growing redder by the minute. Frey’s combination
comes up short as they hit the one-minute mark, and Tiburcio
counters around the outside with a right hook. Good work from
Tiburcio down the stretch as she dodges Frey’s punches and lands
more than a few clean counters. Moments before the bell, after
taking a few shots from Tiburcio, Frey uncorks a beauty of a left
straight that puts Tiburcio on her posterior. Tiburcio is saved by
the bell but wobbles back to her corner on unsteady legs. 10-9
Frey.
Round 3
Once again, it’s all pressure from Tiburcio, who seems to have
regained her wits following the knockdown scare to end round two.
Frey continues to work well off her back foot, though she’s still
sustaining damage to her front leg. Tiburcio takes another left
hand down the center but keeps her footing this time. Frey counters
the next leg kick with a whipping left that turns Tiburcio’s head.
The flyweights are down to the final minute now, still fighting the
same fight they have been for the better part of 15 minutes.
There’s no increased aggression from either woman, though neither
can feel truly comfortable with the scorecards. Tiburcio is still
walking forward when the final bell sounds, whereupon she
celebrates what she believes to be a victory by leaping atop the
cage. 10-9 Frey (30-27 Frey).

Round 1
Modafferi takes a kick on the leg as she walks forward to stick a
jab in Bennett’s face. Bennett gets backed up to the fence but does
well to push-kick and jab as Modafferi steps inside, trying to
close the distance. An ill-timed kick sees Bennett knocked off
balance and to the ground, but she springs back to her feet and
muslces Modafferi against the fence with a bodylock. Modafferi
spins to take the outside position and there works to reap
Bennett’s outside leg for a trip. Bennett fights her off and
disengages, and the flyweights reset with three minutes left in the
opening round. Bennett catches a kick and uses the leg to put
Modafferi back on the fence, where she switches to a double-leg and
slams “The Happy Warrior” to the mat. Bennett gets off a few
punches to the body but is careful within Modafferi’s shifting
guard. Bennett stands to avoid a brief armbar attempt, then kneels
back in Modafferi’s guard. Modafferi stays busy off her back with
short punches, then tries to creep her legs up into rubber guard.
Bennett avoids the position but still can’t pass Modafferi’s guard
and has to dodge a triangle choke in the closing seconds. 10-9
Modafferi.
Round 2

Modafferi edged Bennett on two scorecards.
Modafferi gives Bennett no room to breathe at the start of the
round, quickly moving across the cage to stick jabs in her face.
Bennett circles around the edge of the cage, her back very near to
the fence, and catches her incoming opponent with the occasional
leg kick or jab. Modafferi is the busier of the fighters, however,
and her constant pressure is keeping the fight where she wants it.
Bennett comes twirling out to the center of the cage with a
spinning strike which never materializes, and soon Modafferi has
her back on the outside. Modafferi sticks a jab just as Bennett
throws a kick, knocking Bennett to the canvas. The “Assassin”
drives on Modafferi’s legs and manages to get out of trouble,
powering back to her feet with just over two minutes on the clock.
Modafferi just keeps coming, never more than two feet away from
Bennett as they fight near the fence. Bennett is breathing heavier,
her punches looking a bit more labored as the last 60 seconds tick
down. Modafferi continues to score with leg kicks, forcing Bennett
to begin checking the strikes near the end of the round. 10-9
Modafferi.
Round 3
The flyweights take up their familiar positions to begin the final
round, with Bennett moving in angles around the edge of the cage
and Modafferi working from the center. Modafferi is beating up
Bennett’s legs with kicks as well as scoring with the occasional
jab. When Bennett does try to step out to the middle, Modafferi
moves her right back and resumes cutting off the angles. Both women
connect with solid right hands over the top during one exchange,
but it’s Modafferi who keeps pressing and continues scoring with
follow-up punches. Bennett’s nose is busted now, blood trickling
down into her open mouth. She flashes some front kicks to try and
keep Modafferi out of range, then pops the Las Vegas resident with
a stiff jab. Modafferi’s offense has finally tapered off here in
the final 90 seconds, though she continues to keep the pressure on
Bennett. A few more punches on the nose leave Bennett’s grill
covered in blood, and now she comes in looking for a late shot.
Modafferi backs up to the fence and stuffs the takedown, and that’s
where time runs out.

Duke lost her fourth straight.
Duke presses forward on Aldana and walks into a straight right hand
down the middle from the Mexican boxer. Aldana bounces on her toes
and kicks at the lead leg of her lanky opponent, then catches a
kick and socks Duke with a short right hook. Duke’s face is beet
red from Aldana’s right hand just 90 seconds into the opening
round, but she keeps walking forward. Aldana comes over the top
with another hard right, circles back to the edge of the cage and
waits for Duke to step inside to deliver a nice one-two. Two more
cracking right hands send Duke stumbling backward until she hits
the wall. Aldana is relentless and unloads with more punches, now a
body kick. A left hand rips into Duke’s flank, getting her to lean
forward, and Aldana finishes the fight with one final right hand
down the middle. Duke drops to her knees and referee Mark Smith
steps in to call a halt to the bout.

Hill busted up Eggink.
Hill catches a kick from Eggink and looks for an early trip, but
Eggink pulls back the leg and resumes hopping around the cage. Hill
takes a kick across the body and tries to whip a right hand counter
but comes up short. Eggink connects with another kick to the gut,
only this time Hill catches her with the counter right upstairs.
Hill switches between stances as the fighters continue to settle in
on their feet. Eggink comes into the pocket, gets clipped by a Hill
hook and then has to escape when “Overkill” tries to overhook her
arms. The strawweights are at the midway point of round one with
the frame still very much up for grabs. Hill is all pressure but
has walked into several of Eggink’s jabs and front kicks now. She
catches a kick and tries once again to trip Eggink to the ground,
but Eggink is looking like the stronger fighter at this stage and
simply stands her ground. 10-9 Hill.
Round 2
Hill continues to catch hold of Eggink’s kicks but still hasn’t
managed to truly capitalize with offense behind them. A hard right
kick from Hill catches Eggink on the chest, causing her to turn
away in pain. The fight is still on, though, so Eggink has to turn
around and shake it off as Hill continues to come forward. Hill is
in constant motion, always walking forward on the attack.
Eventually, she catches up to Eggink near the fence and comes over
the top with a hard right hand. Eggink drops to her seat at the
base of the fence, and it looks like the punch may have shattered
her nose. Referee Kim Winslow runs over but does not wave off the
bout, so Hill drops a few more punches on her cowering opponent,
and now the fight is stopped.

Round 1
Porto takes the center of the cage and stalks forward on Maia,
testing the range with pawing punches. Referee Mark Smith warns
Porto to keep her hands closed while striking. Seconds later, a
straight right hand blows up Maia’s chin and sends her crashing to
the canvas. Porto pounces on her downed opponent but doesn’t really
pour on the punches, instead looking to secure position on the
ground. Maia shakes the cobwebs, creates some space from Porto and
rises off her knees. The flyweights are back to striking with 3:00
on the clock, Maia now looking fully recovered from the knockdown
scare as she bounces around the outside. Porto remains measured,
slowly working her way out from the center, not throwing many
strikes here in the early going. Maia snaps back Porto’s head with
a straight right down the center, then deflects a high kick before
both women land simultaneous jabs. There’s lots of swinging and
missing in the final minute as the fighters continue to find their
range, and Porto’s knockdown punch remains the hardest shot of the
fight so far. 10-9 Porto.
Round 2
Porto maintains her position in the center of the cage and
continues to connect with good right hands in close quarters
through the first minute of the round. When the opportunity
presents itself, Porto goes low and then slams Maia to the canvas,
nearly landing in full mount. Instead, Porto dives off to try an
armbar, but Maia stacks her up and frees the limb. Porto stays on
top of Maia, then stands over her and comes crashing back to the
ground with a punch. Maia wraps up Porto in full guard with two
minutes remaining in the round. Now it’s Maia who may be thinking
about an armbar from the bottom, but Porto slams her way free and
stands again. Porto leans in to grab Maia’s leg and simultaneously
places a hand on the ground, making illegal the upkick which Maia
lands a split-second later. Referee Mark Smith calls time and
allows the doctor to check on Porto, who is soon cleared to return
to the fight. Porto once again slams Maia to the mat, this time
passing to full mount and trying for an armbar just before the
round ends. 10-9 Porto.
Round 3

Maia bested Porto unanimously.
Once again, Porto takes her place in the middle of the cage, but
this time Maia looks to attack from the outside. Maia steps into
the center to deliver a hard right hand over the top, then tries to
trap Porto against the wall. Porto denies the clinch and steps out
to deck Maia with a nice left hook, and now it’s Porto trying for
the clinch on the fence. Maia reverses to the outside position and
holds Porto in place with an underhook until they separate at the
three-minute mark. Maia is throwing more combinations but not
seeing any increase in accuracy as punches bounce off Porto’s arms
and shoulders. Suddenly, Porto gets caught with a right hand on the
nose and goes shooting for a takedown. Maia stuffs her to the
ground and tries for a crucifix as Porto’s nose leaks blood all
over the canvas. Maia traps Porto’s right arm between her legs and
drops backward, but that’s where she stalls out. Porto gets to her
knees with ease, yanks the arm loose and drives forward to once
again slam Maia to the ground. Maia grabs a one-armed guillotine as
she’s taken down, but the choke isn’t very tight and Porto is able
to ride out the final 20 seconds on top. 10-9 Maia.
Round 4
Maia rushes to clinch as the championship rounds begin, but she’s
unable to do much with the position once she has Porto against the
wall. The flyweights separate and go back to throwing strikes in
the center of the cage, Maia looking the fresher of the two as she
fires off combinations to Porto’s single punches. Porto gets turned
around and has to dash away as Maia charges her. The situation
turns advantageous for Porto when she changes levels and uses
Maia’s momentum to drive her to the ground. Seconds after they hit
the mat, Maia throws up an armbar which has Porto in deep trouble.
Her left arm trapped, Porto goes belly down on top and steps over
Maia’s head to relieve pressure from the hold. Porto’s face is a
bloody mess as she continues to defend the arm. After nearly a
minute in the position and with no end in sight, referee Smith
orders the fighters back to their feet. Porto is checked by the
doctor and cleared to continue. When action resumes, Maia goes hard
on the attack, closing out the round with rough punches and knees
up against the fence, though Porto gets the last word with a
buzzer-beater takedown. 10-9 Maia.
Round 5
The flyweights clinch up early in the final stanza, with Maia
taking the outside position, trapping Porto against the cage. Porto
tries to use overhooks to slow Maia’s punching, with moderate
success. As the clinch is broken, Porto directs referee Smith’s
attention to a loose piece of tape on her glove, which is fixed
before action resumes. Maia stuffs another shot and nearly gets
Porto back in the crucifix, but Porto flips over and the 125ers
scramble back to their feet at the midway point of the round. Porto
catches a high front kick and drives Maia back to the floor; Maia
grabs another one-handed guillotine on the way down, but Porto
seems unconcerned. Down to the final 90 seconds, Maia is still
holding on to the headlock while Porto is just kneeling on top in
guard. Maia finally releases the hold with 30 seconds remaining,
and the final half minute ticks down with the tired fighters on the
ground. 10-9 Maia (48-47 Maia).

Round 1
Hamasaki snaps off a pair of right hands to the face of Brown in
the opening 30 seconds, then quickly changes levels and plows the
American to the ground. Hamasaki tries to pass to side control but
Brown entangles her in half guard, slowing the atomweight
champion’s progression. Now it’s full guard for Brown, who’s
thinking about a triangle or armbar as Hamasaki postures up to
throw punches. Hamasaki leaves her arm dangling and gets caught in
a triangle which Brown gradually tightens, eventually bringing the
Japanese fighter down to her knees. Hamasaki is defending well,
still kneeling and posturing up as Brown drives elbows into the
side of her head. Slowly, Hamasaki is slipping free of the
triangle, and with 75 seconds remaining in round one, her head
finally pops loose. Straight to side control goes Hamasaki now,
pinning down Brown’s left arm with her leg and leaning across to
wrench a kimura on the right arm. Brown sweeps to top position with
30 seconds left but Hamasaki is still cranking the armlock from the
bottom. Brown never frees the arm but nonetheless advances to full
mount just before the round ends. 10-9 Hamasaki.
Round 2
Brown lands a few leg kicks on the flat-footed Hamasaki, who
switches stances before stepping inside to deliver a corkscrew
right hand. Brown looks to clinch, pulls down Hamasaki’s head in
the collar tie but can’t find the mark with her knee. The next pair
of knees lands to Hamasaki’s body as the champ is backed up to the
fence; from there, Brown is able to drag Hamasaki to the ground
with a waistlock. Hamasaki lands on her knees with Brown in riding
position behind her, landing short left hands to the body and head.
Hamasaki rolls to her back, snatching up Brown’s right arm for
another kimura attempt in the process. Hamasaki uses the armlock to
sweep to top position, where she tries to force the tap but
eventually has to release. It’s Hamasaki on top with 90 seconds on
the clock, standing up tall to try and break Brown’s closed guard.
Brown continues to kick up her legs, threatening to snare Hamasaki
in another triangle or armbar. Brown catches Hamasaki’s head in a
triangle with 30 seconds left in the round and pulls down to try
and force the tap, but Hamasaki is saved by the bell. 10-9
Brown.

Ayaka took out Brown in the third.
Hamasaki gets backed up against the fence, where
Brown leans in and grabs for a high double-leg takedown. Hamasaki
defends at first but is ultimately taken down about one minute into
the period. Once again, Hamasaki uses a kimura to sweep Brown
underneath, and now the champion is back on top with 3:00
remaining. When Brown refuses to tap to the kimura, Hamasaki
switches to an armbar and leans back to fully extend Brown’s right
arm. Brown rolls the right way and looks to be close to escaping at
one point, but Hamasaki has a grip on the wrist and will not let
go. Hamasaki puts her back on the mat, turns Brown’s thumb toward
the ground and leans back to bend the limb to an extremely
uncomfortable angle. Brown hesitates at first but is soon forced to
tap, and Ayaka Hamasaki has retained her Invicta FC atomweight
title with a third-round submission.
