Middleweights Jackson McVey and Sedriques Dumas faced off at UFC Vegas 116 in preliminary card action at the Meta Apex on Saturday.
“SD” Dumas has been a magnet for controversy throughout his UFC career thanks to multiple arrests including robbery and battery charges last year. Still, despite the real life foibles and 3-4, 1NC record inside the octagon, he had another chance to fight on against McVey, who had just eight pro fights and an 0-2 record under the UFC banner.
To start the opening round McVey pressured SD Dumas up against the fence looking to gain control in the clinch. After a few moments against the cage, McVey separated and connected with a clean uppercut that floored Dumas. Shelling up into a ball, Dumas showed virtually no offense the entire fight and gave up his neck for a D’arce choke moments later.
With the sub, Jackson McVey picked up his first win in the promotion and shared post-fight that he will be getting married in the near future. After this impressive win it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 185-pound prospect, who might be out a bit to prepare for his nuptials.
Official Result: Jackson McVey def. Sedriques Dumas by submission (D’arce choke), Round 1, 2:14
