Flyweights Brad Pickett & Chico Camus get the action underway with a touch of the gloves. Pickett lands a big right hand early on. Camus replies with a flying knee, Camus showing good footwork as Pickett goes for the double leg take down but Camus defends. Pickett finally gets the take down and looks to land some hard ground and pound. Pickett does indeed do some work on the ground but the fight ends up on the feet where Camus seems to be winning the standing exchanges. Round ends and its a close one, could edge towards either.
Close round again. Pickett has more joy but Camus doesnt let up either. Tough fight to score really. Pickett has been active with his take downs despite being tagged so could easily pick up rounds, depends how the judges score it. Pickett dictates the 2nd half of the second round and finds his timing more often than not.
Third round starts with Camus' corner warning him that he needs to win this round to win the fight. Pickett pushing the pace in the final round seemingly landing his shots more easily now than before. Camus' volume has dropped off significantly compared to the first round. Pickett attempts the double leg against the cage but Camus defends well. Crowd being to boo towards the end but it actually hasn't been a bad fight. It's been somewhat of a chess match much like most flyweight fights are due to the skillset and pace of the fighters. Camus lands two rights at the end, will it be enough? Pickett probably does enough to take this 29-28.
Brad Pickett really unhappy in the cage as the judges score it in favour of Chico Camus via a split decision, have to sympathise with him there.
Chico Camus def. Brad Pickett via split decision 29-28, 27-30, 29-28
