    ‘Starting Off Tonight Like Don Frye vs. Takayama’ – Fans React To Zachary Reese Taking Beating Before Securing Second-Round Submission In Highlight UFC Vegas 111 Opener

    It seemed like it was going to be a rough go for Zachary Reese, taking his UFC Vegas 111 bout on short notice. Reese, however, managed to take some punishment before scoring a come-from-behind win over Jackson McVey in the first bout of the evening.

    McVey brought pressure early, landing elbows in close, including in the clinch. Reese brought some power of his own, but McVey combined those in-close shots with some solid knees that rocked, and at one point dropped, Reese. Reese, however, managed to weather the storm and see the second round.

    In that second frame, Reese took advantage of a tired McVey, bringing him to the mat and locking up a choke that gave him the submission victory.

    “Not Sure Why They Are Trying To Push The Full 5 Minutes” – Zachary Reese vs. Sedriques Dumas Ends In No Contest After Low Blow Less Than A Minute Into Noche UFC Bout

    Zachary Reese vs. Sedriques Dumas barely got started before it was over — and no one in that Noche UFC 3 preliminary card bout came out the winner in the end.

    The bout was ruled a no contest after a low blow from Reese that was deemed an accidental foul but left Dumas unable to continue.

    Dumas tried to get things going with aggression early, but Reese looked to answer with low kicks. Unfortunately for them, one of those kicks ended up landing hard on Dumas’ groin, putting him down in a world of pain. Despite nearly the full five minutes to recover, Dumas was unable to continue, resulting in the no contest.

    Dumas, known in the MMA community for his lengthy arrest history, is now winless in three of his last four. He entered tonight off a loss to Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC 314.
