LAS VEGAS – Dan Argueta thinks he was en route to finishing Ronnie Lawrence at UFC on ESPN 46 before the referee intervened. In the first round of their featherweight bout this past Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Argueta (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) caught Lawrence (8-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a mounted guillotine choke. Referee Keith Peterson thought he witnessed Lawrence tapping, prompting him to waive the fight off. Peterson stopped the fight after grabbing Lawrence’s arm to check for consciousness, but Lawrence never made a tapping motion.
