On Saturday, the UFC hosted one of its biggest events of the year as UFC 211 took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Two titles are set to be defended in the lone star state as UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic fights former champion Junior dos Santos and UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk fights Jessica Andrade.
Before the titles are defended, UFC 211 features a stacked undercard full of intriguing matches.
The FX prelims opened with an exciting lightweight matchup between James Vick and Marco Polo Reyes.
Reyes was the first to inflict damage in the fight. He used leg kicks to keep the taller fighter at bay. Vick did use his reach advantage when landing punches. Vick eventually landed a straight punch and finished the fight by TKO.
Official Result:
James Vick def. Marcos Polo Reyes by TKO (2:39 Rd 1)
