UFC Vegas 69 was a so-so event. The flyweight headliner saw a new contender emerge, and the light heavyweight co-headliner was clinch-heavy.
The preliminary portion of the card started with Clayton Carpenter showing off his Brazilian jiu-jitsu and submitting Juancamilo Ronderos with a first-round rear-naked choke. There were some great scrambles in this fight, but ‘Concrete’ got the better of them and forced Ronderos to tap. AJ Fletcher clubbed and subbed Themba Gorimbo for a second-round guillotine choke. When the ‘Ghost’ and the Gorimbo were tied up, the former connected with a brutal elbow that dropped the ‘Answer,’ who went down immediately.
