Vera finished Cruz in round 4, while he was down on the judges scorecards
Chito Vera racks up his list of legend killers with his latest finish over Dominick Cruz. The 29-year-old Ecuadorian now boasts an impressive resume with names such as Frankie Edgar, Sean O’Malley, and now Dominick Cruz with his performance at UFC San Diego. One of the most powerful punchers at 135, Chito is hardly one fight away from a title shot, if he doesn’t receive it already.
The sheer gore of the KO where you can see a legend like Cruz break his nose before he face-plants on the canvas, had many worried and saddened by the fate that one of, if not the greatest bantamweight champion in the history of the organization met. With this Chito is on an impressive 4 fight win streak in arguably the most stacked division in the UFC.
Here are the best fan reactions to the main event at UFC San Diego.
