It’s going to be hard for Edgar Chairez to top what he did Saturday in front of his home fans.
Chairez (12-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) broke down in tears in the center of the cage with a wave of emotions after a first-round submission of CJ Vergara (12-7-1 MMA, 3-5 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 64
at the exact halfway mark of the openign frame.
Earlier in the day, Chairez was meant to fight on the prelims. He wound up on the main card and took advantage. He drilled Vergara with a right hand and put him on the canvas. Vergara popped back up, but Chairez stayed vigilant and leveled him again.
