Gleison Tibau vs. Rafaello Oliveira- Oliveira via decision
Round 1-Inside leg kick from Oliveira to open. He's returning after going 4-0 outside the promotion after getting cut last year. Good left-right from Oliveira, who is staying busy circling outside. Teep kick from Oliveira briefly pushes Tibau back. But soon, Tibau shoots and ges the takedown. Oliveira has a nice scramble back to his feet, though. They trade strikes as Oliveira's corner tells him to stay busy. As Oliveira throws some kicks and jabs, Tibau catches him with a nice left. Then another that stuns Oliveira, allowing Tibau to get another takedown. He works from the top out of half guard and looks for ground and pound. He gets back to his feet, but eats a left for his troubles. With 30 seconds left, Oliveira's corner tells him to "get exciting." But Tibau lands another nice shot.
Pretty close round but i think that Tibau won that one.
Round 2: Tight little shot from Tibau has Oliveira briefly on his knees, but then back to his feet with his corner calling for a 1-4 combo. Tibau shoots 90 seconds in, and again scores a takedown. Oliveira works from guard. Tibau passes to half guard and nearly takes Oliveira's back. But he gets back to his feet and grabs Tibau's right leg looking for a single-leg. Tibau almost out of nowhere lands a big shot, though, and pounces on Oliveira. He lands some ground and pound and takes his back, looking to finish as Kim Winslow moves in for a closer look. And it doesn't take long. Tibau cinches up a rear naked choke, it's tight, and Oliveira quickly taps.
Result: Gleison Tibau def. Rafaello Oliveira, submission (rear naked choke), 3:28 Round 2
