Natal was able to get some easy take downs in the 1st round as Kuiper seemed to just fall over. In the 2nd Kuiper began to defend the take downs better, but Natal was able to land quite a bit with his sloppy punches. Kuiper dropped Natal early in the 3rd round and was able to deliver quite a bit a ground and pound, but eventually Natal was able to get up and reverse things, working an arm triangle for the last minute of the fight.
