PASAY--Guam-based Filipino fighter Jon Delos Reyes bounced back from an early barrage by homegrown talent Roldan Sangcha-an to get a submission win in their UFC Fight Night Philippines match at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday night.
In the all-Filipino contest, Sangcha-an put on a show in the opening round, almost scoring a submission on Delos Reyes while inflicting the latter a cut.
Early in the second round, Sangcha-an appeared to be dominating Delos Reyes as blood began to flow heavily on the latter's cut.
But after play was stopped to clean Delos Reyes' cut, he got a momentum swing and knocked down Sangcha-an and got him with a rear naked choke that forced him to tap at the 3:13 mark of the round.
Delos Reyes moved up to 8-4, dropping Sangcha-an to a 4-2 record.
