The sixth iteration of Amaury Bitetti's popular Bitetti Combat promotion takes place this evening in Brasilia, Brazil, and this time the show is available worldwide as an online pay-per-view. The fights get underway around 5 PM ET at bitetticombatppv.com, but if you can't drop $12.95 for the stream, stick with Bloody Elbow for full results as they happen.

The full card for tonight's show is somewhat unclear: both Paulo Filho and Rico Washington were no-shows at last night's weigh-ins, Jeff Monson has been scratched from his bout with Glover Teixeira, and Fabio Maldonado is also out with an injury. Fights which definitely will happen include Danillo Villefort vs. Cassiano Tytschyo, Leandro "Batata" vs. Gustavo "Labareda," and a women's bout between Ediane "India " Gomes and Amanda Nunes.

UPDATE, 4:26 PM: PVT reports that Paulo Filho is out of his fight with Yuki Sasaki, and that Sasaki refused a fight with proposed replacement Daniel Acacio. Thales Leites vs. Rico Washington will now headline the event.

UPDATE, 5:39 PM: The undercard -- streaming for free on Sherdog -- is late in starting; the stream is currently showing an empty arena and fighters inspecting the cage. The English-language commentator has promised to update fans on the Jeff Monson and Paulo Filho situations when the show begins.

UPDATE, 6:44 PM: There's finally an announcer in the cage! Fights are about to begin. No, really.

Thales Leites vs. Rico Washington

Round One: Leites raises his hand and Washington rushes over to touch gloves. They do, and Washington pops Leites with a sneaky jab immediately after, which draws a gasp from the crowd. Leites trips Washington up against the fence and quickly moves to side control. From there, it's no surprise: he sinks in a deep arm-triangle choke and forces the tap.

Moments later, Teixeira unloads a combination and Ferreira semi-voluntarily takes a seat on the mat.

Leandro "Batata" Silva vs. Gustavo "Labareda" Sampaio

Round One: Not much going on in the opening minutes of this one, and before anything of note can happen, the ref halts the (in)action to repair one of Sampaio's gloves. Once that's mended, Batata continues to wade in with sloppy combinations, eating sharp counters for his troubles. Sampaio getting busy with his leg kicks in this round, too. Both men stand in center ring, still hesitant to engage. A flashy hook kick from Sampaio just misses and gets whistles from the crowd. 10-9 Sampaio.

Round Two: Batata scores a takedown against the fence and moves into side control, then half guard. He's working for an arm-triangle, but it looks like he's up too high and Sampaio slips his head out. Finally, Batata tries some ground and pound, but gets pushed back to Sampaio's full guard. The action is halted again, and this time there's trouble with Batata's glove. Batata is also issued a yellow card for what the referee called an illegal knee; the replay shows Sampaio was on his feet when the strike connected. After the yellow card, it's (presumably) a 9-9 round.

Round Three: Plowing takedown into the fence from Batata, who moves into side mount on Sampaio's right. He gets shifted back to half-guard, but now the punches are coming down in quicker succession. They move away from the base of the fence and Batata switches sides. Sampaio is covering up and not offering much from beneath. Batata briefly looks for a keylock, but Sampaio fends it off and the two scramble to their feet... before Batata quickly takes Sampaio down again. The fight comes to a merciful end. 10-9 Silva.
