Really boring, crowed booing the fighters, Yellow cards at end of round.....

Nakamura wins by unanimous decision

[kaps]

Next fight: Arona vs. Lister....

Round 1...

Arona did better on the feet although he's very stiff. He knocked Lister down once , but Lister was giving Arona trouble with going for a heel hook at the end of the 1st round...

[kaps]

Round 2.

Lister with a lowkick...Shoots for a single legs and gets forced back so Arona is on top

Arona with some weak gnp while Lister does his best to find a sub. A solid straight left from Arona stopped Lister for a second, but then he keeps looking and moving while Arona hits the boddy and re-opens the cut pretty well.

half round finished........Lister moving his foot up so Arona gets out and stands....

Arona faints with a rigt jab and lands a huge upper and Lister ducks the faint.

Lister with a big swing that misses but the clinch with Arona off balance and he gets taken down and mounted with Lister in half (barely)...Arona fights out of the position and looks for the triangle while Lister throws some ineffective shots

Arona gets the traingle pretty much set, and the bell rings
