Daniel Marcos vs. Saimon Oliveira

Round 1 – Marcos and Oliveira get things rolling for the first UFC event in Brazil in nearly three years. They clinch often and scramble for position along the fence. Oliveira tries some flashy stuff, but it’s not there. What it does, though, is give Marcos some pause. Oliveira throws a couple spinning punches in a row late in the round, but Marcos seems wise to them. He ties the Brazilian up against the fence, but Oliveira reverses position and goes for a single-leg takedown. It’s not there, and both fighters try some spinning stuff before the horn. It’s a close round, but MMA Junkie gives it to Marcos, 10-9.

Round 2 – Marcos lands to the body 30 seconds in and seems to hurt Oliveira. Oliveira tries to retreat and recover, but Marcos ties him up. The reset, and Marcos keeps chasing Oliveira down. He drills him with a kick to the head, a couple punches, and has him in trouble on the fence. Marcos stays patient and goes to the body, then a right to the head. Oliveira tries to put something together. But a few seconds later, Marcos lands to the body again. Oliveira is hurt. He crumples, and Marcos piles on the offense until he gets the stoppage to stay unbeaten.

Result: Daniel Marcos def. Saimon Oliveira via knockout (punches) – Round 2, 2:18
