Round 1

BSD out in southpaw with Moicano in orthodox and Moicano takes the center immediately. Both men testing range and then Moicano snatches a body lock, spin and gets the takedown early!

BSD looking for his favorite butterfly sweeps and Moicano holding position. BSD creates a scramble but Moicano reasserts and now he’s in top-half. BSD scrambles again and gets the butterflies again.

Moicano with small shots here and a good elbow as BSD keeps looking to elevate. He gets it and turns to stand but Moicano jumps on the back and breaks him down. Moicano in backpack with the body triangle!

BSD turns belly down and that’s a bad idea. And Moicano starts mashing him! BSD is turned in the triangle but he can’t move and Moicano is working him over with punches and elbows!!! We’re at the halfway mark and Moicano is clubbing him!

BSD eats more shots and he’s busted open now. He does get out of the mount and work a leg in. Moicano lands some more shots and BSD gets full guard at least but he is bleeding heavily near his eyes.

BSD tries to scramble and gives his back and Moicano is immediately on his back again with the body triangle! And he turns him down and more big shots! Moicano is beating the tar out of BSD early!

BSD just wearing it in there. He has no answer to the grappling. He reclaims half guard but Moicano now just posturing and pounding him with punches. This is a statement from Moicano right now and BSD is going to survive to Round 2.

MMA Fighting scores the round 10-8 Moicano.

Round 2

That was a total demolition and this fight is now on a timer because BSD’s eyes are cooked. Massive swelling and cuts on the eyelids. Matter of time before those turn bad. He’s also lumped up around the head.

But he’s got spirit. BSD certainly a little cautious to start, but he’s putting shots down range as Moicano waits for his time to get in. Moicano shoots and BSD defends. Very cautious though.

Moicano really just waiting to get in on a shot and BSD is slowly punching back in. Nothing massive but just consistent work while Moicano is kind of waiting a bit. Jabs for Moicano.

Pace is very slow now. Neither man has done too much for 3 minutes. Honestly, surprised BSD can even see with his eyes busted up like this. But he’s gaining confidence. And then Moicano gets in on the hips nicely. This time BSD defends though!

But seriously, BSD may be blind in there. Massive swelling and bleeding. Moicano grabs a clinch and we get to the fence. clinch fighting here and then we break to space.

Moicano is not putting the pedal down. Will that hurt him in the long run? I guess we’re about to find out as Moicano just kind of waits the round out. He basically took the round off completely and so he loses it.

MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Saint Denis, 19-17 Moicano overall.

Stoppage

OOOOOF. Saint Denis’s right eye is entirely closed. The doctor is looking at it but they super should not let this continue. His left eye isn’t much better honestly and the doctor is taking a long look at this. He’s doing serious finger testing and Saint Denis cannot get the questions right. He missed the questions and so the fight is stopped.

Renato Moicano gets the win!
