UFC 71 Light heavyweight: Carmelo Marrero vs. Wilson Gouveia

Folks, I'm here Octagonside at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for UFC 71. There's a lot of media here so I'm getting to know my neighbors quite well. And I've been battling some wireless signal issues. But, it's all good now.

The Vegas crowd is filing in slowly. At the beginning of the first undercard fight, I would say only half the seats were filled.

In the first fight, Wilson Gouveia dominated Carmelo Marrero standing up. The fight quickly went to the ground where Gouveia was able to apply a guillotine choke from the mount at 3:06 of the first round.

Winner: Wilson Gouveia wins by guillotine choke at 3:06 of first round.

Referee: Mario Yamasaki
