Nasty ground and pound is a game changer ! #UFCVegas17

Tybura takes it to the ground and finishes with GnP. Hardy just covers up from 1/2 guard and Tybura beats him up. What a turnaround and display of toughness from Tybura.

Anthony Pettis vs. Alex Morono
Two crafty welterweight’s!! Morono is underrated, Pettit is a legend ⚡️

I think Pettis can still compete with the best guys. Sometimes he gives up position more than he needs too bc of higher risk striking techniques. His grappling from top n bottom is solid, and striking is effective. Morono needs to wrestle and eat clock to win #UFCVegas17

Solid round for @alexmoronomma full of heart and determination!! #UFCVegas17

A left upper cut or kick as he fades right could end this fight for Pettis next round #UFCVegas17
