American Emilio Uruttia faced Brazilian Daniel Hortegas in the main event of FMD: The 37th Chamber last Saturday night and there was nothing to separate the two men. They put on three fast and frenetic rounds which had the crowd at the Insanity Nightclub in Bangkok on its feet. Hortegas set out his stall to make this a grappling contest right from the offset. After a handful of strikes from Uruttia the BJJ black belt completed a single leg takedown and looked to set up some submissions.

With neither man able to dominate proceedings the fight could have gone either way but in the end to of the judges voted in favour of Uruttia who improves to 8-4
