Most likely, the first simply caused the latter, as Reis, the first and only Elite XC bantamweight champion, continued to prove himself a force to be reckoned with in the UFC flyweight division. The Brazilian dominated Ortiz for a unanimous decision victory. The judges' scores at Newark's Prudential Center were 30-27 across the board.
Reis (20-6) set the tone for the fight in the opening round. By the midpoint, he was winning the scrambles, outgrappling Ortiz, and showed enough power in his fists to keep Ortiz wary.
This was only punctuated in the second round, as Ortiz simply couldn't seem to find an answer for Reis' relentless grappling.
