Edgar Chairez versus Daniel Lacerda declared a no decision at 3:47 of Round 1
The flyweight bout between Edgar Chairez and Daniel Lacerda ended in controversy, as Chairez locked up a standing anaconda choke, with referee Chris Tognoni seemingly halting the contest prematurely.
Chairez had the choke locked in, and Tognoni checked on Lacerda, who seemed lucid before his right arm dropped, which prompted the stoppage. The Brazilian immediately started protesting, and the finish went under review, with the result being overturned and the bout being declared a no decision.
This is an unfortunate early end to what promised to be an entertaining contest. Hopefully these two will be paired off again soon in order to see how things will play out in full.
