Nathaniel Wood vs. Johnny Eduardo in a bantamweight bout finishes off the UFC Fight Pass preliminary card. In round 1, A short uppercut from Eduardo may have hurt Wood. Right hand and a body shot. Eduardo is tagging Wood with great shots. In round 2, They trade shots and then Eduardo shoots for a takedown and Wood winds up on top. Wood latches onto a d’arce choke and gets the tap.
Opening the UFC Fight Pass prelims is Jose Torres vs. Jarred Brooks in a flyweight bout. In round 1, Torres ends up blocking one spinning backfist, then gets dropped with the same move seconds later, but on the other side. Brooks with a headlock and throwing knees to the shoulder. Torres is to his feet and back to striking. Excellent level change by Brooks and he takes Torres down and takes the back, with hooks in. He’s backpacked on him with a minute left in the round. In round 2, Jorres starts round 2 having to defend a takedown, then ate another right hand. Brooks spins again but Torres now has Brooks’ back. It appears that Brooks knocked himself out when he attempted to slam Torres to the mat.
