UFC 142 Results Recap: Yuri Alcantara Vs. Michihiro Omigawa

For two rounds, Yuri Alcantara put a beating on Michihiro Omigawa. Those straight armbars from guard were not working and Omigawa was getting tagged every time he tried to employ his peek-a-boo boxing style. Then the third round came about and Omigawa had the opportunity to finish a very tired Alcantara, but a series of poor decision doomed that comeback.

This was an entertaining fight, but being one of the three decisions all night may doom it to obscurity. Omigawa might get cut. His actual record says he has gone 1-3 in his last four fights, but that Elkins decision was indefensible judging. Still, going 2-2 with the wins being over Elkins and Jason Young does not bode well for the 36 year old’s future in the division. A match with a young prospect or another veteran on the verge of being cut is likely.
