Avalos out of Parlier looked to defend his title versus us Samuel “The Alley Cat”
Alvarez. Avalos scored mixing up some nice kicks and punches before taking the
fight to the ground. Avalos would land some nice shots from top position while
keeping Alvarez grounded. Avalos would continue with the kicks in round two and
look for a takedown but Alvarez reverses position, ending up on top. Fighter would
make it back to their feet and Alvarez was able to score with his stand up game
as the fight went into the final round. Fighters would keep the fight standing,
with Avalos mixing in a few take down attempts to keep Alvarez guessing. Each
fighter would have their moment in the final round and would go the distance.
