    Amazon Forest Combat (AFC) 2 results: Murilo Bustamante earns decision, Patrick Cote

    http://www.mmamania.com/2012/4/1/291...ote-brazil-mma


    Two former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champions -- Murilo Bustamante and Dave Menne -- collided last night (March 31, 2012) in the Amazon Forest Combat (AFC) 2 from the Amadeu Teixeira Gymnasium in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

    It was a rematch more than a decade in the making, with Bustamante stopping Menne in their first encounter at UFC 35: "Throwdown" in Jan. 2002 via technical knockout. History (kind of) repeated itself in their second tilt, with the Brazilian getting the victory again; however, needing the nod from the ringside judges to take home a unanimous decision.

    In the co-main event of the evening, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) number one 185-pound title contender, Thales Leites, took on Matt Horwich, who was in the midst of a three-fight losing skid. Leites extended it to four with a second round submission, exacting revenge after suffering a surprise submission loss to "Suave" back in 2010.

    That's now six wins for Leites in his last seven appearances, making a case to perhaps return to the Octagon sooner rather than later.

    AFC 2 featured several other notable mixed martial arts (MMA) veterans, including Patrick Cote, Ronys Torres and Pete Spratt, among others. Check out complete AFC 2 results after the jump:


    Murilo Bustamante defeated Dave Menne via unanimous decision
    Thales Leites defeated Matt Horwich vis submission (arm-triangle choke) in round two
    Patrick Cote defeated Gustavo Machado via knockout in round one
    Pete Spratt defeated Daniel Acacio via unanimous decision
    Ronys Torres defeated Ferrid Kheder via technical knockout (punches) in round one
    Dileno Lopes defeated Javier Ocampo via submission
    Emiliano Sordi defeated Fabiano Capoani via technical knockout (punches)
    Rivaldo Junior defeated Marcelo Rojo via unanimous decision
    Luiz Fernando defeated Pablo Javier Llampa via technical knockout (punches)
    Spratt connected with an incredible spinning backfist at the buzzer, which knocked out Acacio cold. More on the near finish shortly.
