R1: Marx unrolls about four mid-range kicks to jump in the driver's seat early. Marx catches a lazy Ueda kick, gets the body lock and heaves Ueda with a nice throw. Udea grabs a kimura and torques it but Marx slips out and pesters with punches from the top, moving to Ueda's back on one knee. Ueda tries to roll out but he's eating steady leather from Marx. Ueda gets loose and lands a left body kick, then has a high kick blocked. They trade blows and Ueda lands another body kick, then throws two more followed by a one-two, but it's not enough to steal the round. 10-9 Marx for effective striking and grappling.
R2: More roundhouse kicks to the body from Marx to open the second. Ueda follows his straight right hand into the clinch and catches Marx off-guard with a takedown. Marx closes his guard, then tries to shrimp out but Ueda traps his head in a loose guillotine. Marx angles out and Ueda almost takes his back, then transitions to a kimura. Marx shifts his weight and rolls Ueda over. Ueda with another kimura, this time from half guard. Marx moves to full mount but Ueda bucks him off during the transition. An odd stalemate ensues where Ueda is turtled and Marx is in the inverted triangle position. Ueda slides his head out and gets on top, then gets a strong front headlock when Marx gets to his knees. Very even round with neither fighter showing a clear advantage. 10-10.
R3: True to form, Ueda comes out with a hard body kick. Marx tries to counter Ueda's straight left with low kicks. Two kicks from Ueda, Marx answers with one. Ueda with another. Marx charges with a half-hearted knee, Ueda side steps and counters. Marx snaps a right hook just as Ueda is dropping for a double leg, and he gets it. Marx traps an arm but Ueda spins on top to the front head lock. Ueda gets a cross-side underhook and lands a few rights as Marx is turtled. Marx slips free and gets the rear waist cinch for a second but Ueda spins out.
Marx lands a right and Ueda shoots. Marx seems to have it stuffed but Ueda picks the ankle to roll him on his back. Marx scrambles free and they trade punches until the horn. 10-10 for another round of even offense. I have it 30-29 for Marx.
All three judges see it 29-28 for Travis Marx, who defeats Masakatsu Ueda by unanimous decision.
