Round 2: Another early striking start for Stephens, landing several clean jabs. Downes pushes it to the cage, then lands a short elbow. Stephens switches position, but Downes gets the fight to the ground and has a guillotine in – but Stephens' arm is in, and he defends it and escapes. Downes now has to work from his back in guard, and as Stephens postures up, Downes nearly lands an upkick. But Stephens finishes in side control and gets Downes' left arm and is bending it back at just a horrible position. Though Downes is miraculously not tapping, Stephens lands a giant elbow to his head. But Downes gets to his feet and the crowd loves him for it. Shortly after, Downes lands a kick too low, and Stephens takes time. Body kicks come from each. Downes is bouncing around nicely given that he almost had his arm ripped off two minutes ago, then nearly had his head driven through the mat with an elbow. Stephens pushes in and gets a nice takedown right in front of his corner. He passes to side control and finishes the round holding on

Round 3: Another early takedown for Stephens, but the fight pops back up quickly. Downes surely knows he needs to end the fight if he wants a win. Downes has a big cut near his left eye, and there's a good amount of blood. Stephens picks him up and carries him across the cage for a Matt Hughes-like slam, right in fornt of his corner. Downes gets back up, though, his face covered in blood. After a short exchange, Stephens again brings it to the ground. Again, Downes works his way up with Stephens hanging on to his back. Downes breaks it off with 90 seconds left, and he'll need a miracle. But another Stephens takedown ends those thoughts for now. Downes looks for a triangle, the only thing that can save him now. Stephens lands a few more elbows from up top

Round 1: The crowd is loving the "Woooo!" shouts that Cope made famous this season on TUF. Josh Rosenthal gets things started. They touch gloves and we're rolling.

High roundhouse right kick from O'Neil misses. Cope lands a left. Traded jabs, and then a big one from Cope gets the crowd's attention.

O'Neil reverses position, then the two split apart. O'Neil checks a Cope leg kick. More jabs from each. O'Neil misses a spinning back kick. Cope keeps coming forward and is landing just a few more shots than O'Neil. But there's nothing yet that has anyone in trouble. Another left kick from Cope keeps O'Neil at bay. Cope throws a Superman punch and leads it into a leg kick, then another quick Superman punch. Then another as the round winds down

Round 3: A touch of gloves for this last round. O'Neil lands a nice right jab. Cope counters with a kick. Then a body shot. Then he ties O'Neil up along the cage and lands a left. O'Neil reverses position, but Cope breaks it off. Right to the body and left to the head from Cope. Jab fakes from Cope lead into inside leg kicks. Body shot lands from Cope. He then just misses a high kick, but follows with a nice kick to the body. They tie up, and Cope looks for knees as O'Neil tries to take the fight to the ground. They trade a little in the clinch, then split up with 90 seconds left as Cope gives another signature shout. He then just misses a spinning back kick, but follows it with a big spinning back fist that lands. O'Neil will probably need a home run to win this fight, but he's not doing much to go for it. Cope lands a nice left as he yells something to Chuck. Cope comes forward with more kicks as the fight draws to a close
