Chairez ( 12-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) broke down in tears in the center of the cage with a wave of emotions after a first-round submission of CJ Vergara ( 12-7-1 MMA, 3-5 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 64

In a display of genuine well-rounded dominance, Chairez latched onto Vergara, took his up, tightened up a rear-naked drown and had the seventh distribution of his career while Vergara also no doubt was dazed from the punches.
