FELDER vs C. OLIVEIRA
Ultimate Fighter competitor David Teymur handed South Haven lightweight prospect Drakkar Klose his first loss, as he scored a three-round unanimous decision win.
Utilizing a stick and move strategy, Teymur caught an early warning from referee Herb Dean for more moving than sticking, a curious call that nonetheless sat just fine with the pro-Klose crowd. Once the bout resumed, there were a few heated exchanges on the feet, with Taymur holding the edge. Klose responded with a takedown in the final minute, but Teymur jumped back up immediately, and the two kept it standing until the horn.
In the second, Teymur continued to peck and poke at Klose, frustrating the Michigan native, and his frustration mounted as Teymur tripped him to the mat late in the round and finished the frame in control there.
Round three was more of the same, Teymur controlling the striking at a measured clip, with Klose’s takedown of his foe not lasting more than a few seconds. This work by the Swede made it no surprise that the judges returned a 30-27 twice and 29-28 verdict in his favor, allowing him to up his record to 7-1. Klose falls to 8-1-1.

Cooper dominated the first round on the ground, coming close to finishing the bout on a couple occasions, but Magana hung tough.
Taking the bout right back to the mat to start the second frame, Cooper kept the pressure on, and while Magana found her way out of several dicey situations, it reached a point where the action was so one-sided that referee Keith Peterson had seen enough, stopping the fight at 4:34 of round two.
Cooper improves to 4-3 with the win. Magana falls to 11-9.
