Urijah Faber vs Ivan Manjivar

by Dr. Octagon, J.D.

Round 1: A looping right hook from Ivan Manjivar doesn’t connect. Urijah Faber clinches. Manjivar takes him down, but Urijah has reversed and is in side control. Manjivar gets Urijah back in his full guard. Urijah is working elbows from inside the guard.

Ivan tries for an arm and eats a few punches. Big elbows from inside the guard by Urijah. Urijah stands up and eats an upkick. Urijah dives back into the guard and works some more elbows. Manjivar upkicks, stands, and Urijah jumps on his back sideways. Faber doesn’t let go, turns around, locks in a body triangle, and sinks in a choke. Manjivar taps while still standing. 

Urijah raises his arms to celebrate while still on his back. That is one tight body triangle.
