Ricardo Arona took the decision win over Marvin Eastman after a 2 year absence from MMA and in front of his countrymen. Arona looked true enough to form initially, using his tank style takedown to frustrate Eastman but then twisted his knee awkwardly in the 2nd. To the final round Arona came out firing and gutted out a win over the tough "Beastman." Not his greatest performance, and it won't land him a job in the UFC, but at 14-5, he continues his comeback.
Paulo Filho has decided to go fat after being dubbed a steroid user by Gegard Mousasi, but somehow got the judges nod over Alex Schoenauer. This boring spectacle was boo'd by Filho's own Brazilian fans.
Pedro Rizzo has Jeff Monson's number and defeated him in their rematch via decision. Stuff and stuff the takedown leaving the "Snowman" with little else to do. The "Rock" is back (not really).
Murilo Rua TKO win over Alex Stiebling by starching him with a head kick and subsequent beating. At least one notable Brazilian had a good showing here.
Glover Teixeira guillotine'd Leonardo Nascimento*

Well that was just an eh show but 5-2 on the picks and thank you to Wikipedia for getting most of the card wrong so the picks don't count.
