Hello everyone and welcome to the live coverage of 411mania on UFC on ESPN + 10, I am Robert Winfree and I will be your host for the evening, transmitting all the action as I see it. The UFC makes its first trip to Rochester tonight and brought a decent but somewhat unspectacular card. The main event is damn awesome as former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos will host Kevin Lee in the welterweight division. We lost the main game earlier this week when Neil Magny failed a drug test. He had to fight against Vicente Luque who will now face Derrick Krantz in a lower position on the map. But the good old Shoe Face, Antonio Carlos Junior, is back in the game after a little over a year off against Ian Heinisch. Nik Lentz and Charles Oliveira will fight for the third time because. . . reasons I guess. But like all the dull cards on paper, they have the potential to be impressive in practice, so hopefully all of them.

The UFC on ESPN + 10 comes to the world from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York, USA. Brendan Fitzgerald and Paul Felder are also commented. Trevor Wittman will be on occasion and Laura Sanko will be in charge of the reports. As far as the rules are concerned, we are governed by the new rules. So you have to hold both hands flat on the mat to be considered shot (or a knee of course), extending the fingers to your opponent is a fault, regardless of the contact established. the language around the scoring is clearer and encourages more than 10-8 scores. Instant replay will also be required for end-of-fight sequences if necessary, but once replay is used, combat can not be resumed.

Julio Arce has lost his first loss to the UFC when he lost a shared decision on Sheymon Moraes. He is now trying to get back on track and avoid his first round of defeats in the UFC. Julian Erosa scored 0-2 in his second stint at the UFC and he tries to avoid the dreaded skid of 0-3 that will likely see him ruled out of the promotion for the second time. Chances are with Arce at -800 against +550 for Erosa.

Here is the finish. Being able to tap into the same side as the one we just hit is a valuable asset, Arce used it to set the free kick high and Erosa never really saw the shot coming .

Zak Cummings won his last fight when he switched to middleweight for the first time in his UFC race. He is now looking to bet on that to start a legitimate race in the division. Trevin Giles is undefeated after two successful bouts at the UFC. He is looking to stay perfect and bring out a UFC veteran in Cummings. Giles has not fought for barely two years, so he hopes to end his dismissal with a win. Despite this layoff, Giles is the favorite of -180 with a +150 win for Cummings.

The first-round finish club thanks Mr. Herman for his work tonight. They would also like to approach the person who caused the punctures on their rental car and note that retaliation will be done. At least it's over in the first, Herman is enjoying the time of the microphone. He says he must be touched to wake up in a fight and blame Cummins for hitting him, then thanking his family and his coaches. He says he wants to be part of the UFC video game. It's been 13 years since he's in the UFC and he's not in it. He just wants his son to play it. As he arrives, he finds that his knees are becoming his best weapon and that when a good knee is clean, there is not much to do.

Nothing very special here, just a solidly executed knee from a quick Thai hitch that hit Cummins' temple and stole his balance. Herman knows enough to follow and that's all she wrote.

OFFICIAL RESULT: † WINNER – Aspen Ladd by unanimous decision (30-26, 29-27, 29-28)

No problem with 10-8 seconds, I was probably wrong not to give Ladd a frankly. Mic time for Ladd and she puts on Eubanks and notes that she works hard to excel in all aspects of MMA.
