Leites dropped down for a takedown early, but settled for a clinch against the fence. He stuck to Camozzi like glue and got a standing back mount. Leites kept working for a submission while hammering away at his opponent. Camozzi tried to shake Leites off of him, but wound up on his back before the round came to a close.
Not long into the second stanza, Camozzi found himself on his back. The Brazilian moved to side control. Leites used a D’Arce choke to move to Camozzi’s back. Camozzi spent the rest of the round trying to avoid a rear-naked choke.
