Francisco Rivera was tonight (Sat., July 30, 2016) looking to avoid the dreaded three-fight losing skid when he took on Erik Perez at UFC 201 inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. But, the veteran Bantamweight couldn't get it done against "Goyito" despite leaving everything -- including about a pint of blood -- inside the Octagon.
Rivera got the action started with a nice, hard left hand that momentarily stopped Perez's constant movement. He landed it again, but once again, it didn't seems to slow down Perez, who was bouncing around looking for an opening. Rivera landed a nice low kick, then straight rand as Perez struggled early to get anything going.
