Round 1 – Musoke tries a takedown early but Alexander defends, and keeps the fight on the feet.  Musoke is one of the biggest welterweights and looks to have 20 lbs. on his opponent.  The Venezualan fighter is looking for punches as he swings wildly, but Musoke lands a nice kick followed-up by a double-leg take-down.  Muskoke moves to full mount, and his opponent goes to his belly as the Swede punches to the side of the face over and over and over.

Musoke is in trouble again, as Landaeta lands a few big punches and a round-house right kick.  The Spain based fighter punches to the body, and seems to be in control as he looks for another big right hand.  The bring over Musoke to the doctor to look at the eye, which looks to have gotten an eye poke.  The two furry with two minutes left in the round.  Musoke’s left eye is red and swollen, and the local gets a high amplitude takedown as he lifts Laendeta in the air for a slam.

10-9 for Laendeta.

Round 3 – The fight is Musoke’s to lose with a likely 10-8 first round.  Musoke’s left eye looks bad, but he steps forward.  The late-replacement might not have the energy to take advantage of the injury, and now Musoke puts his opponent on his back 1 minute into the round.  A very quite next minute as the Swede lays on top, and the crowd is quiet.

Musoke is listening to his corner, and takes back and looks for a submission as time runs out.

10-9 for Musoke.
