Larkin Defeats Camozzi
Lorenz Larkin and Chris Camozzi would bring the online portion of the UFC Fight for the Troops 3 card to a close with a fun battle in the Octagon. Larkin would control the majority of the fight with his superior striking but Camozzi would find some success with his kicks, especially in round 2. In the end, Larkin would get his first UFC victory at Fort Campbell while Camozzi has now lost two straight to former Strikeforce fighters.
Medeiros KOs Edwards
Yancy Medeiros made his first UFC victory memorable one as he decked Yves Edwards in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 31 bout. Medeiros dropped Edwards with a nasty counter uppercut and put him away with strikes after a fun back and forth round. The win improves Medeiros to 1-1 in the Octagon, while Edwards drops to 10-9 in the UFC and has lost his last three.
Baczynski Edges Magny
Seth Baczynski picked up a much-needed victory over Neil Magny tonight at UFC Fight Night 31. The story of the fight was Baczynski’s grappling advantage as his strikes in the standup, and on the ground, slowed as the fight wore on. While Magny was aggressive throughout the fight, leading some to believe he could have won, the judges ruled for Baczynski. The victory snaps a two-fight losing streak for Baczynski and drops Magny to 1-2 in the UFC.
