Aldo came out very aggressive in the second and began to pressure Stephens. Aldo’s output was simply higher, and his punches carried more pop. Much of the same dynamic went on in the third, as Aldo out landed and out powered Stephens.

Rounds: 6 x 3 minutes
Result: Vitor Belfort def. Ronaldo Souza via unanimous decision (58-54, 58-54, 57-55)

Round 2 was similar, but with a ton of clinching. Souza looked to close the distance and tie up Belfort. Belfort did a good job at avoiding damage while in the clinch, and when separated, Belfort connected several times.

Round 3 was all Belfort. He knocked down Souza with a brutal hook early on. Souza stood up and got wobbled multiple times before getting dropped a second time towards the end of the round. He would get back up again and manage to survive until the bell.

Souza looked shaky entering the fourth, but he actually had his best moment. He connected a few body shots and a big right hand on Belfort early on. Belfort also had a good connection with his left, but Souza began having success clinching and dirty boxing. It was the most competitive round of the fight, as both guys evenly connected cleanly on each other.

Souza carried plenty of the momentum into the sixth round. He connected multiple times and really slowed down the fight with the clinch. Also, Belfot seemed to be slowing down significantly. But even then, Belfort landed the better shots, had the higher output in terms of significant shots landed, and at several points stunned Souza.

In the final round, both Souza and Belfort were completely spent. However, that didn’t stop them from going toe to toe in a grueling fight. Both connected and had each other on wobbly legs in multiple times. Yet, once again, Belforst shot’s were far more damaging than Souza’s.

Result: Anthony Pettis def. Roy Jones Jr. via majority decision (76-76, 77-75, 78-74)

The second and third were pretty even. Pettis attacked the body a lot. Jones Jr. certainly woke up and upped his attack. He connected a clean right hand in the final seconds of Round 2. Still, the more aggressive and busier fighter was Pettis, even if he wasn’t badly hurting Jones Jr.

The fourth and fifth rounds were a bit competitive, as Jones Jr. began to get more aggressive. But even then, Pettis had the bigger output, and neither fighter was landing extremely clean or hurting the other.

There were several uppercuts that snapped back Pettis’ head. In these rounds, Jones Jr. had his best moments, especially in the fifth.
