Pickett dove in for the kill, who swarmed him against the cage. He trapped his left arm and threw dozens of punches, but wasn't able to get the stop from the referee. He switched to a guillotine, but Page countered it and popped out, sitting in Pickett's guard. The Angel of Death looked for his own guillotine, but Pickett reversed. They retrned to the feet, where they both threw with reckless abandon. Pickett landed a devastating uppercut and jumped on Page's back. He was able to lock up the choke and Page had to tap.

Pickett was looking to rebound from his loss to Renan Barao at UFC 138. Page has lost two bouts in a row, including his only UFC bout against Brian Bowles at UFC on Versus 3 last March.
