Alcantara ducks under a right and has a takedown in the middle of the cage. Half guard and elbows at the moment. Ildemar has taken something like 4:50 worth of this round.

10-9 Alcantara and I could see arguments for 10-8.

Round 3: Body kick from Alcantara as the crowd cheers and stomps. 1-2 from Tumenov, who manages to connect on the 2. Alcantara went for a kick that got him countered by Tumenov with a right. They trade rights. Tumenov with a solid right that Alcantara manages to ignore. Inside leg kick and a spinning backfist from the Russian. Not really sure why Ildemar hasn't tried a takedown yet, he seems content to kick the body and land solid jabs. Straight right from the Brazilian. There's the duck under from Alcantara, but Tumenov manages to stay standing. Alcantara with a 2-1 and Tumenov with a left.

Closer round, but I'll go 10-9 Alcantara

Final result: Ildemar Alcantara wins via Split Decision (30-27 (?!WTF?), 29-28, 28-29)
