Opening the UFC Fight Pass prelims was Omari Akhmedov vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in a welterweight bout at UFC on FOX 19. An entertaining round one. Akhmedov got an early round takedown but was overtaken by Santos as he went for a heel hook. Akhmedov countered with a kimura submission attempt but was not successful. In the second round, both men had their moments on the ground as they both took each other down. Santos turned things up in the third round and was winning the fight on the feet. Santos rocked him, and Akhmedov went for a takedown, but it was stuffed. Santos blitzed him with elbows, knees and strikes while in the clinch. Akhmedov was back peddling as Santos just went off on him, and the fight was stopped.
