Pat Sabatini (11-2) defended his title in impressive fashion, tapping out fellow Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Fabricio Oliveira (11-6) to retain his featherweight belt. The bout served as the main event of Friday’s CFFC 74 event, which streamed live on UFC Fight Pass from Etess Arena in Atlantic City, N.J. The two grapplers were quick to clinch at the start of the fight, and Sabatini briefly threatened the neck from the standing position. When Oliveira adjusted to pull free, Sabatini turned his attention to a few knees to the body before changing levels and looking to drag the action to the canvas, though the effort was unsuccessful. Oliveira also looked for a takedown during the grueling clinchwork, but Sabatini sprawled well and reversed the position.
