UFC 132 took place on Saturday, July 2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The main event featured the first UFC bantamweight title fight ever as Dominick Cruz defends his title against the only fighter to ever defeat him, Urijah Faber.
The co-main event featured the long awaited return of Wanderlei Silva, who faced Chris Leben. Also appearing on the main card was Tito Ortiz who faced Ryan Bader.
The fourth and final fight on the UFC’s facebook streaming portion of the card featured a bantamweight fight between former WEC champion Brian Bowles (9-1) and Takeya Mizugaki (14-5-2).
The fight started with both fighters looking to land some strikes. Not a very eventful round to start the fight.
After a prolonged period of exchanging on their feet Bowles took the fight to the ground, locked in the body triangle and then went to work, trying to secure a choke.
Between the second and third round Bowles said he hurt his hand while his corner told him that they did not care, “champions fight in the third round.”
With 3:00 left in the third Bowles landed a takedown and when Mizugaki stood he had Bowles stuck to his back and looking for a submission.
The fight goes to the cards:29-28, 30-27, 30-27 for Bowles
