Renan Barao vs. Cole Escovedo

Renan Barao defeats Cole Escovedo by unanimous decision (30,27, 30-27, 29-28). 

Barao continue his undefeated streak that dates back to the first fight of his career in 2005. The performance was not what one would consider dominant, but Barao's takedowns scored enough points in the judges eye to give him the unanimous decision victory.

Escovedo has now lost three of his last four fights. This was Escovedo's debut with the UFC and a fight he took on short notice, though, so expect him to receive another opportunity with the organization. Two years ago, Escovedo returned to MMA after being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.

Michael McDonald vs. Chris Cariaso

Michael McDonald defeats Chris Cariaso by split decision (29-28, 29-28, 27-30).

McDonald records a win in his sixth straight fight, but this one was not nearly as impressive as his previous five performances.

Both fighters traded punches fairly equally on their feet. While both fighters scored plenty of points, not much damage was done by either through three rounds of action.

Cariaso nearly trapped his opponent in an omoplata in the third round, but McDonald was able to fight it off and take the narrow decision victory.

Cariaso has now lost two of his last three despite an impressive victory over Will Campuzano in his last fight, which also marked his UFC debut.

Gleison Tibau vs. Rafaello Oliveira

Gleison Tibau defeats Rafaello Oliveira by submission (rear naked choke) at 3:28 of the second round.

Tibau wins his second fight in a row in impressive fashion with a second round submission over Oliveira.

Oliveira loses for the first time since being released from the UFC last year. Since Oliviera returned to the UFC on short notice for this fight, he will likely get another fight with the organization, but the future doesn't appear to be bright unless he is able to make some significant improvements.

Kendall Grove vs. Tim Boetsch

Tim Boetsch defeats Kendall Grove by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).

Boetsch rag-dolled Grove for three rounds in a dominant performance. The win gets Boetsch back on track after losing to Phil Davis in his last fight. 

Boetsch utilized throws from the clinch and his size proved too much for Grove once the fight was on the ground.

Grove loses for the second straight fight and the fourth time in six fights. It wouldn't be surprising if Grove is released from the UFC in the very near future.

According to Compustrike, Boetsch was successful on nine of 11 takedowns and outlanded Grove 43-13 in power strikes landed.

Miguel Torres vs. Demetrious Johnson

Demetrious Johnson defeats Miguel Torres by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

Johnson earns the biggest win of his career against Torres with takedowns and top control to steal the second and third rounds.

Torres' run at fighting for another belt comes to a disappointing end despite his best efforts to remain active off of his back in this fight.

According to Compustrike, Johnson completed five takedowns and landed 45 ground strikes.
