The top of the UFC San Diego billing did not disappoint! The UFC’s #5 ranked bantamweight, Marlon “Chito” Vera, devastated the former champion, Dominick Cruz, with a brilliant head kick in the fourth round.
Cruz was delivering all sorts of volume to get things going, but Chito dropped him with a left hook towards the end of the opening round. Cruz got back to work in the second act, doing his usual funk and blitzing with flurries of punches. The third round saw Vera rock Cruz again, this time with a right hand, but Dom didn’t go down all thew way.
