Anthony Ivy killed two birds with one stone Saturday night in Houston, retaining his Fury Fighting Championship welterweight title and avenging a previous loss with a second-round mauling of Jason Langellier at Fury FC 33.
The Fury FC 33 headliner looked close to bring stopped at the end of the first round, as “Aquaman” was applying heavy ground-and-pound to Langellier in the final minute, with referee Jeff Rexroad looking on closely. Langellier survived to hear the final bell, but the second round offered more of the same: Ivy once again grounded “The Slim Reaper,” navigated the lanky grappler’s submission attempts and pounded him with punches and hammerfists from back mount.
