My teacher, Cleber is fighting tonight on the Bellator card.

I trained with him last week and he is in the best shape of his MMA career. Should be a good event:

It's going to be good!

Congrats to Cleber for his victory

Mario Navarro vs. Cleber Luciano

R1: Luciano nails an early takedown and goes right to half guard. Frenetic pace on top from Luciano, though he's threatening to pass with no striking. Luciano gets north-south as Navarro tries to escape via wall-walk. As always, great reffing by Jason Herzog, who clarifies that Navarro can't hook his toes inside the cage. Luciano stacks up and goes knee on bell, obviously the dominant grappler of the two.

Now a strike or two from Luciano, but nothing's on them. More knee on belly, followed by side control and north-south again. A pair of hammer-fists land for Luciano, who follows with a few more punches that land solid. Navarro backs him off with a nice armbar attempt but Luciano squirms free and goes back to work. Luciano unloads a ground flurry that goes at least a dozen deep. 10-8 for grappling domination.

R2: Navarro grazes a right roundhouse kick, and it's the only offense he can muster before he's flat on his back again. High half-guard for Luciano, who isolates an arm with wrist control and passes to side mount. Navarro regains his guard with active hips; Luciano methodically passes to side, then full mount. It's brief, as Navarro scoots his hips up to regain full guard, but Luciano is back in mount in instant later.

Navarro bucks him off and stands back up, mustering two missed punches before the takedown. Navarro pauses and flashes his corner the Ben Henderson hand signal, for whatever reason. Luciano has Navarro's head on the cage and gets foot control to break his closed guard and pass to half. Navarro gets back up and lands one knee and elbow before the bell sounds. 10-9 for a lack of striking from Luciano and at least a few solid strikes landed by Navarro.

R3: Navarro gets off a kick and few punches, as well as manages to stave off a takedown. Showing atrocious fight I.Q., Navarro ... pulls guard? After being owned from the top for the last 10 minutes? Then looks up to the ref, pleading for a stand up. Luciano gradually spiders his way up to full mount and clobbers the helpless Navarro for a good minute before the bell. 10-8 Luciano, for a 30-25 curb-stomping on my card. (Navarro angrily taunts Luciano as he's celebrating, taxing the limits on an already overflowing "Complaints Box.")

Cleber Luciano defeats Mario Navarro by unanimous decision (30-27 x 3).

Really nice guard passing by CL!

was it televised? I recorded the show on Spike (it said it was live... from Thursday night)... but no Cleber.

They didn't show the prelim fights on Spike.
