The final middleweight scrap on the UFC Fight Night 92 card featured former 185-pound title challenger Thales Leites (26-6) and Chris Camozzi (24-11).

Leites snapped his two-fight skid in dominating fashion.

Leites dropped down for a takedown early, but settled for a clinch against the fence. He stuck to Camozzi like glue and got a standing back mount. Leites kept working for a submission while hammering away at his opponent. Camozzi tried to shake Leites off of him, but wound up on his back before the round came to a close.

Not long into the second stanza, Camozzi found himself on his back. The Brazilian moved to side control. Leites used a D’Arce choke to move to Camozzi’s back. Camozzi spent the rest of the round trying to avoid a rear-naked choke.

Camozzi wasted little time throwing leather at the start of the final round. The early boost was thwarted after Leites completed a takedown. Leites continued threatening with a rear-naked choke. This time, he locked it in and finished the fight by submission.

Final Result: Thales Leites def. Chris Camozzi via submission (rear-naked choke) – R3, 2:58

VIDEO: Donald Cerrone Lassos Alex Oliveira, Claims Sole Ownership of “Cowboy” Nickname

While the triumphant freakshow that was Bellator 149 may be getting all the coverage, the UFC put on a decent little show of their own over the weekend. Though not without its fair share of unfortunate, injury-related withdrawals, Fight Night 83 wasn’t the worst night of fights by a long shot. And hey, no one almost died! (Too soon? Too soon.)

In the evening’s main event, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone dueled with late replacement Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira in the former’s first trip up to the welterweight division. Word had it that the loser of the match would have to change his nickname to “Ranch Hand” per a gentleman’s agreement made in the locker room, but that’s neither here nor there. In an effort to once again remind us that it’s not all head kicks and “fuck you kicks” when it comes to Donald Cerrone, the former title challenger took Oliveira to the mat early and, for lack of a better word, just tooled him from there.

The triangle that Cerrone locked up just over halfway through the round had Oliveira tapping faster than that time Sage Northcutt put an uncomfortably tight, ab-smothering turtleneck, so check out a full replay of the fight above (until it gets taken down).

After the jump: Chris Camozzi obliterates Joe Riggs‘ arms & face and the world feels sadder for having witnessed it.

Elsewhere on the Fight Night 83 card, UFC veterans Chris Camozzi and Joe Riggs faced off, and if you’ve been wondering how much “Diesel” has left in the tank (nailed it), then this fight will probably not be a fun thing to watch for you.

I know it’s been said before, but Joe Riggs has got to be the oldest looking 33-year-old since…people started living past 33, I guess. I understand that chopping one’s own dick off can’t be good method of preserving one’s youth (when you’re in you early 30′s at least), but someone needs to show that guy, like, moisterizer or something. I swear that I saw a fine layer of ash fly off his face when Camozzi landed that jab.

Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone returned to the win column against another ‘Cowboy’ in Alex Oliveira in the main event of tonight’s (Sunday, February 21, 2016) UFC Fight Night 83 from the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and he earned $50,000 for the event’s first “Performance of the Night” bonus by stopping the fill-in Brazilian with a quick first round triangle after some early rough spots.

Middleweight Chris Camozzi earned the second “Performance of the Night” for his swarming first round TKO over longtime veteran Joe Riggs.

“Fight of the Night” rightfully went to women’s bantamweights Lauren Murphy and Kelly Faszholz, who fought a rousing war on the preliminary card that Murphy won by a very late stoppage. Kudos to Faszholz for taking a tough fight on short notice and contributing half of an entertaining battle.
