Chito typically drops the first round in his fights, he gets more dangerous as the fight goes on.

The speed difference and set ups of Figgy are apparent and sharp. Figgy well off in the drivers seat. Chito needs to find an adjustment #UFCAbuDhabi

Chito finally woke up in R2. Think he had a good enough close to the round. 19-19

Vera did great work in the third, but that knockdown swings it for Deiveson
