Round 1: First fight on the UFC 190 undercard about to get rolling. Referee for this bantamweight bout will be Osiris Maia. The Argentinian Cannetti looking to make it two in a row in the UFC. Viana came out wearing his “Wolverine” claws, and got a good pop from the Brazilian crowd. They touch gloves. Wide stances, as they feel each other out here early. Now Viana comes in with a flying kick, and that might have nicked Cannetti a bit. They reset. Early crowd already loud in Rio. Spinning kick from Cannetti, and Viana snatches his leg out and tackles him. He’s fishing for a heel hook here, but it isn’t happening. Viana trying to get Cannetti’s back. They stand on the fence, and Viana now using his frame to post Cannetti on the links. He’s landing some knees to the body in close. Cannetti landing some knees. Viana trying to hoist Cannetti up and dump him down, but so far Cannetti is thwarting. A lot of energy being expended here. Viana drops lower and gets his lower body into a takedown attempt, but Cannetti isn’t budging. Now Cannetti turns the action around and is landing some short shots inside. The referee separates them. High kick whiffs from Cannetti, as Viana keeping a healthy range. With the opposing stances, they are slapping fives, and Cannetti slams down Viana in a scramble. Not a ton of action in that round.

But Viana shoots in for a takedown, and this time he scores it. He’s in Cannetti’s guard, posturing up. Now he’s raining down hammerfists, and there’s plenty of room for big shots here. Cannetti is not tying up those swinging appendages. Right as I say that, he does. He’s not cradling on fence as Viana once again slams home a couple of big shots on the supine Argentinian. MMA Fighting scores R2 for Viana, 10-9 (20-18 overall)

Round 3: Cannetti with some head kick action early, as he misses on one and then another. That prompts Viana to close the distance, and they clinch.

Cannetti getting the better of that scramble, and now it’s him with the double underhooks. Back and forth fight. Good strikers, both, but they are toiling right now on that fence, and the referee (once again) separates them. Left hand from Cannetti, and he takes Viana down. Can’t keep Viana there. And they are glued together again on he fence, with Viana trying to trip Cannetti down. Instead, Cannetti muscles Viana the other way and down to the canvas they go.

Miranda on his knees, trying to thrust back to his feet, but Hester has his back, and he’s dropping knees into his thighs. Hester clinging to the feet, and drops Miranda on his back, where he now gets into his half-guard. Crowd boos as Miranda rolls back to his knees. Hester dropping knees into his thighs, and they aren’t doing any damage. Miranda finally gets back up to a nice ovation, but Hester is genuflecting (seemingly) trying to get that double leg. He loses his grip, and now it’s Miranda who has Hester on his back. He postures up and starts throwing bombs at Hester! Some nice shots there, as Hester was in a jam. Miranda still in control, once again — and with great poise — landing shots. There’s a nice left hand from Miranda, who is just blowing Hester up with that left hand.

Miranda lands about a dozen left hands on the squirming Hester, who is lost on the ground and just taking punishment. Miranda is landing elbows now…one, two, three, tons. And finally Herb Dean, seeing nothing for “Headbussa” Hester, steps in to stop the fight. Miranda did a great job of turning the tables on Hester there; once he got Hester on his back, it was academic.

Iuri Alcantara vs. Leandro Issa

Now he is picking his shots, goes to the body with a kick then up top with a follow-up punch. Issa looking to time out a counter, and Alcantara comes in again, this time landing a flying knee.

Round 2: Issa with a front kick, and Alcantara backs him down. Big left hand counter there momentarily drops Issa, which might have been more of a balance thing that just the impact. They are being a little more selective with the striking in this round, as Alcantara slips an overhand and touches Issa with his right hand. Alcantara, the southpaw, keeping that power hand ready to uncoil. Issa shoots in for a takedown, and for a brief moment ends up on bottom in the scramble. Now Issa drops low to his knees and goes for the double, and he hoists Alcantara up on his shoulders. As he gets away, Issa shoots immediately back in on fence, and Alcantara slamming him with short elbows to the temple. Issa is all dog, though, just keeping on him along that fence. Alcantara is tying him up well, though, and the referee separates them. Issa rolls around the perimeter and Alcantara lands a beautiful straight left. Big kick, and Issa is in trouble! Alcantara coming to life, as Issa covers up on the ground. A couple of elbows and punches, now Issa is holding onto Alcantara’s legs to minimize the punishment. They get back up. Issa appears okay, and Alcantara stalks him across the cage. Another straight left from Alcantara lands flush, and Issa’s head and body wobbled in effect.

Issa looks siphoned. Alcantara has some mojo, as he throws a high kick and now a series of punches. He’s got the swagger, as he heads over and tries to clip Issa with a spinning back fist. Misses. But it’s his fight now. Issa does what he can to snatch Alcantara’s legs for a final takedown, but he gets blasted with half a dozen sharp elbows as he does, just as the final horn sounds.

Round 2: They touch gloves. Alves to the center. Might have landed low with a kick, and he apologizes. Head kick from Alves, and a right hand. He’s finding a home for that. Taleb tries to take Alves down, but Alves stuffs that sort of dramatically. Taleb tries a kick, and Alves once again catches his leg and drops him to the mat. As in the first round, Alves right into Taleb’s half-guard. He wants to move that left leg over for side control, but Taleb is draping his leg over it to make sure it doesn’t happen. Again, neutralizing stuff from the bottom here from Taleb. Finally Alves postures up, and he lands a shot as he drops right back into Taleb’s half-guard. Not a lot of room, but Alves lands a big left hand as he forces the issue. From the bottom, Taleb is landing here and there with up-swining elbows. Still, the pressure is on him from Alves. Taleb tries to get up, but can’t. Now he does, and Alves grabs his neck for a guillotine — too sweaty, he pops right back out, and they waltz on the fence. Short elbow from Taleb lands in the clinch. Alves again grabs the neck, and drops down emphatically going for a guillotine….and this time it’s tight! Alves has Taleb in a bad spot, and there’s the tap. Wow.

Rafael Cavalcante vs. Patrick Cummins
Round 1: Mario Yamasaki is the referee. He does his hand-heart thing, and we’re ready. Feijao to the middle, and he starts with an inside leg kick. Spinning kick from Cavalcante coincides with a Cummins’ takedown, and they go to the canvas in heap. But Cavalcante right back up. They go to the fence, and Cummins has Feijao tied up, hugging his back. He’s looking to dump Cavalcante right there, as Yamasaki looks on. Cummins picks up Feijao and tries to slam him down, but Cavalcante won’t be tosses so easily…not yet anyway. He does it again and down goes Feijao. Now Cummins grits his teeth and starts throwing knees. As Cavalcante gets up, Cummins drops him back down. Cavalcante able to finally scramble up, though, and the crowd lets out a roar. Right hand from Cavalcante lands, and Cummins — perhaps not liking that — presses him again, and drops him on the fence. Feijao muscles his way back up to his feet on the fence, and Cummins just picks him up and drops him down again. Cavalcante rises again, and comes up swinging this time. Big right hand from Cavalcante. Cummins’ eye is swollen shut, his left eye. Cavalcante making his punches count. Cummins pins his ears back and drives Cavalcante into the fence, where again he drops low to get leverage to take him down. Feijao already huffing as he breaks free. Cummins, from range, tags Cavalcante with a jab and an inside leg kick. Tough round. Feijao did more damage, Cummins’ controlled better. MMA Fighting scores R1 for Cummins, 10-9.
