Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist Felipe Pena
within the UFC Battle Move Invitational 4 headliner on Thursday on the
UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Jones, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu teacher for reigning Final
Preventing Championship titleholder Alexander Volkanovski, was
credited with the quickest escape time in OT and awarded the
victory. Neither man budged throughout regulation, as they dug of their
heels in a digital stalemate.
In the meantime, Nicky Rodriguez submitted Dan Manasoui with a rear-naked
choke in time beyond regulation to win the $30,000 absolute match. Rodriguez
turned away Roberto Jimenez within the quarterfinals, then tapped
Vagner Rocha with an time beyond regulation rear-naked choke within the semis.
Manasoui had put away Gabriel Arges with a heel hook in 3:21 and
dispatched Fedor Nikolov with a kneebar in 38 seconds to punch his
ticket to the ultimate.
In different motion, Glover Teixeira took a unanimous choice from
Anthony Smith within the three-round co-main occasion; Nick Meregali
dismissed Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu with an time beyond regulation armbar of their
encounter; two-time NCAA wrestling champion Roman Bravo Younger
misfired on a late triangle choke and settled for a draw with UFC
flyweight contender Alex Perez; Helena Crevar, 16, pressured Emily
Fernandez to give up to a rear-naked choke 7:26 into their
confrontation; Rocha eradicated Fellipe Andrew with an inside heel
hook 6:18 into their absolute match quarterfinal; and Nikolov
confirmed Haisam Rida the door by way of quickest escape time, as their
match quarterfinal went to time beyond regulation.
