Round 3
The fighters traded jabs for the first min, until Nakamura scored a trip takedown to break the stalemate. Emerson got back to his feet but quickly pulled guard. Nakamura, not wanting to sit inside Emerson's guard, stood up and invited his foe to follow. Nakamura then put together his best prolonged offense of the fight, with several right-handed jabs from the southpaw stance and a left hook. Emerson, fatigued after 13 minutes in the Octagon, started to wing shots but nothing connected. The official judges scorecard's read 30-27 (twice) for Emerson, and 29-28 for Nakamura, giving Robert Emerson the split decision win.

Round 2
The boo-fest continued to play out in the second round, as the busiest man in the cage was referee Yves Lavigne, who had to separate the fighters due to lack of action. Midway through the frame, Eastman caught a thumb to the right eye that opened up a small cut. With 30 seconds left in the period, Eastman tripped Martin to the canvas, which locked up the round on the scorecard. 10-9 for Eastman.

Round 3
More clinching as the final period began. Martin tried to throw Eastman, but the Las Vegan was able to gain balance and drag Martin to the floor. From side-control, Eastman landed a few elbows before Martin powered back to his feet. More clinching ensued, until Eastman landed the best shots of the fight, a right knee, left straight combo that buckled Martin's frame briefly. 10-9 for Eastman. The judges saw it 30-27 (twice) and 29-28, all for Marvin Eastman.
