RIO DE JANEIRO – In a battle of “Ultimate Fighter” veterans, Sergio Moraes put his Brazilian jiu-jitsu on display to stop Neil Magny. Magny brought a big reach advantage into the fight, but once Moraes worked his way past that, he cruised when the fight hit the canvas. The home-country fan favorite sank in a triangle choke, then transitioned to a mounted triangle to force Magny to tap at the 3:13 mark of the first round. The welterweight bout took place today at UFC 163 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. It aired on FX ahead of the pay-per-view main card. Magny tried to use his nine-inch reach advantage early to keep Moraes at distance. But eventually, Moraes was able to get inside with him, clinch up and land a trip takedown. And that was the beginning of the end for Magny, a Season 16 semifinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter.” From there, Moraes, the runner-up on the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil,” transitioned to side control and tried to go to work with Magny by controlling his head

LAS VEGAS – Tim Kennedy not only was willing to grapple with Roger Gracie, he took the jiu-jitsu ace to the ground. Although Kennedy struggled to find the 6-foot-4 Gracie’s chin, he controlled the fight to shut out the Brazilian on two of three judges’ scorecards. The middleweight bout of Strikeforce vets was part of the main card of today’s UFC 162 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

In the second frame, Kennedy turned the tables on Gracie and took the fight to the mat, where he landed several punches that shifted the fight’s momentum.

In making his World Series of Fighting debut this past November on their first show, Tyson “Man of” Steele (10-1) knew he was going to be in for a tough fight against Gregor Gracie, but he couldn’t have anticipated how right he’d be early on in the bout. “I got stuck in a pretty nasty arm-triangle choke early in the fight. I knew going into the fight I was going to be a major underdog in jiu-jitsu against Gregor. I kind of expected it to be coming, but I didn’t expect it to be as much trouble as it was,” said Steele.
