"After a short feeling out process in the opening minute, Giga missed on a kick stumbling to the ground. On his way up Chikadze ate two solid right hands before circling away. Moments later Giga landed a quality combination set up by a kick to the body. Vallejos was forced to clinch pressing Giga up against the cage. A massive cut had opened on the leg of Chikadze as Vallejos continued to hold the fight in the clinch."
"In the second, Chikadze started to press forward continuing to land solid kicks to the body and legs at distance. Vallejos exploded out of nowhere throwing a spinning backfist against the fence that caught Giga clean. Stumbling to the floor, Vallejos continued the attack finishing the fight with elbows moments later. This was a viscous and electrifying win for Vallejos who picked up the biggest win of his young career."
