Early Friday morning former UFC title challenger Ali Bagautinov looked to get his first win since UFC release last year. He took on Brazilian Top Team and Murilo Bustamante product Pedro “The Rock” Nobre.
Ali Bagautinov vs. Pedro Nobre
After a striking battle in the opening round, Bagautinov was able to sink in the rear-naked choke late in round two.
Nobre came in with a spinning back-fist before clinching “Puncher” against the fence. That closing of the distance allowed Nobre to get a pretty solid Thai clinch on Bagautinov.
