Marlon Vera vs. Roman Salazar

Round 1
Vera lands a body kick and gets rushed against the fence by Salazar, who eats a couple knees as he drives for a takedown. Just when it looks like Salazar will complete the shot, Vera hip-bumps and sweeps into armbar position as Salazar kneels. Salazar shakes off Vera to wind up in the Ecuadorian’s tight closed guard. The second minute of the fight is spent on the mat, where Vera wraps up Salazar’s wrists to prevent much pounding, though Salazar gets through with a few good elbows. Referee Josh Ward calls for work midway through the round; 20 seconds later, he brings the bantamweights back to their feet. Vera goes back to the body with three or four kicks before Salazar runs him against the fence again, this time grabbing a rear waistlock. Vera counters with a standing kimura setup, but he doesn’t have the position and Salazar spins to the front, still holding Vera’s waist. Salazar exits the clinch with a pair of elbows as the fighters step back to the center for an uneventful 30 seconds. Vera explodes with a flying knee and a punching combo at the horn, then continues to throw shots and shoves Salazar after the round ends.

Round 2
Salazar rushes straigjht at Vera, grabs a bodylock and drags “Chito” to the ground near the center of the cage. Salazar nearly takes the back, but Vera explodes out and spins around to place the American in full guard. Again, Vera is able to stifle Salazar’s offense on the mat by controlling his arms and wrists. Salazar peppers the body with right hands before referee Ward calls for more action. Vera is hunting for a triangle from underneath, and two minutes into the round, he snares Salazar. After scoring with elbows to the face, Vera switches to a triangle-armbar, stretching out Salazar’s right arm and eliciting a quick tap.
