He was able to take minimal punishment while landing what he needed to win. It may not have been the most exciting victory, but it was very strategic.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the first round did not see much action, watching both Meza and Pettis trying to find a comfortable striking distance was interesting. Meza was just out of reach of all of Pettis&#8217; unorthodox strikes and Pettis dodged most of Meza&#8217;s punches.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd turned on the fighters in the second round where the feeling-out process continued. Pettis&#8217; offense evolved around attacking the lead leg of Meza which restricted his ability to shoot for a takedown. It may not have been the flashy offense the UFC die-hards are used to seeing from Duke Rufus&#8217; fighters, but it was effective nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Sergio Pettis landed a glancing high kick that caused Meza to stumble around a bit, but Pettis was unable to lock up the victory and the fight made its way into the third round.<\/p>\n<p>The lengthy feeling out process may not have been exciting for the fans, but it surely paid off for Sergio Pettis in round three. He found a comfortable range to strike from where he did not have to worry about any form of offense Meza was throwing at him.<\/p>\n<p>After fifteen minutes of fighting, Pettis was awarded the decision win.<\/p>\n<p>Sergio Pettis def.
