That leg is comprised!

Jimmy is in big trouble now with that leg. Pedro has granite granite chin and will stay in the pocket trading and chopping till he falls. #UFCVegas20

Look for Pedro to start going front kick to the body if he can’t stop Jimmy with the leg. #UFCVegas20

And Rivera’s calf now looks like a cow

Many would’ve been stopped by those calf kicks from Munhoz. Not only has Rivera not quit, he’s made it extremely competitive.
