Final match of the night! Pedro starts out being active on the feet with multiple feints. Roosevelt is so big he’s hard to move. Halfway through and Roosevelt sits to guard.

Vagner Rocha vs Sergio Moraes

There was plenty of back and forth during the press conference for this match, should be interesting. Two UFC veterans battling it out on the BJJ stars tatami! Lots of collar ties, Vagner is heavy on the head and so is Sergio. Vagner digs a deep undertook and drives Sergio out of bonds. After much discussion they reset with Vagner on top in the center and he immediately starts attacking the back, he has one hook in. He’s starting to ride high and transitions to a kimura but Sergio defends and lands on top. No points yet. Vagner in closed guard and they both get hit with a penalty. Sergio sits back on a foot lock and Vagner is talking to him. And it's over .

Taza trying to sweep from bear trap and back to their feet with 90 seconds remaining. Fabricio picks up an ankle but Taza circles out. That’ll do it.

First match of the night between two explosive purple belts, should be a fun one. Paul Christopher pulls guard and Joao begins a furious sequence of passing attempts that gets him close to the back. Christopher doing a good job with frames, inversions and lasso guard to keep Joao at bay but he is down 5-0 on advantages. Christopher shoots a triangle but its shucked off, Joao turns it into a pass attempt and another look at the back. Only good enough for an advantage though.
