UFC on Fox 25 Highlight Video: Watch Marlon Vera Tap Brian Kelleher

Marlon Vera came into enemy territory on Saturday against local fighter Brian Kelleher and was the underdog at UFC on Fox 25.

None of that mattered as the Ecuadorian not only stopped Kelleher’s seven-fight winning streak, he did it in spectacular fashion. After nearly catching the New Yorker with a kimura from the clinch, “Chito” locked up a textbook armbar from his back once the ensuing scramble hit the canvas. Kelleher had no choice but to tapout as soon as Vera latched it on, ending the bantamweight scrap 2:18 into the first round.
