Reginaldo Vieira RIO DE JANEIRO – After a fight that saw dueling guillotine choke attempts, wild striking exchanges, and lots of blood, Reginaldo Vieira just edged out Dileno Lopes to win the bantamweight final of “TUF: Brazil 4.” It didn’t come easy, and it wasn’t without a few near submissions, but Vieira (13-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) carried the day with his aggression and positional control, defeating a gutsy Lopes (18-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The “TUF: Brazil 4″ bantamweight final was part of the main card of today’s UFC 190 event at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. These two 135-pounders wasted little time trying to end the fight in the first, as both men traded guillotine chokes back and forth in the first few minutes of the bout. Whether it was Vieira choking and Lopes escaping, or Lopes locking on the choke and Vieira riding it out, it seemed the guillotine was the only finishing move either fighter was interested in the opening frame. But while both men may have worn down their arms trying for the choke, it was Vieira who seemed fresher in the second round, when the action took place mainly on the feet.
