ANALYSIS
Williams came into this fight trying to be aggressive with his wrestling. He was able to drag the fight to the ground, but he could not prevent Vazquez from taking his back. The majority of this fight was spent with Vazquez stuck on his opponent's back. Williams tried to make it a fight in the final round, but it was too little too late. The Iowa native lobbied hard for this fight on Twitter, but this might be his only shot at the big show. His record falls to 26-16 with the loss. In his defense, Williams in really undersized for bantamweight and should be fighting at flyweight.
