"Early on, Kamikubo repeatedly tried to take the fight to the ground, but the takedown defense of "Mulisha" was able to keep it mainly on the feet.

Late in the third round, do Nascimento would land a spinning elbow that almost led to a finish."

"It was a clinch-heavy fight, although the sharp jabs of Piccolo regularly damaged the face of Nowicki. After three measured rounds, the judges awarded a unanimous decision win to Piccolo with scores of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28."
