MEXICO CITY – Edgar Chairez created a moment at UFC on ESPN 64 that will live on his personal highlight reel forever. Chairez (12-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) couldn’t hold in the emotions after submitting CJ Vergara (12-7-1 MMA, 3-5) in the first round of their main card bout. Fighting and winning on home soil was one thing, but doing it after his grandfather’s death added to the moment. During his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier, Chairez expressed how much the win meant to him because his grandfather sold his truck to pay for the surgery he needed
