Quite often, in a battle of two wrestlers, the fight will turn into a stand-up war. That was not true in the lightweight bout between Danny Castillo (8-2-0) and Shane Roller (7-2-0), as they spent most of their bout on the ground.
Danny Castillo outwrestled Shane Roller, an All-American wrestler at powerhouse Oklahoma St. Castillo took down Roller down with ease and blocked any attempt Roller made at a takedown. Roller roared back in the second round, spending much of it on Castillo's back. He wasn't able to submit him at that point, but he did cause much damage by pounding on Castillo's ears.
In the third round, a seemingly exhausted Roller was able to take Castillo's back and wrench Castillo's neck in a vicious rear naked choke. Castillo tapped, making Roller the winner.
This is Roller's second win in a row, and his only WEC loss is to interim champion Ben Henderson. Castillo, a protege of WEC star Urijah Faber, toniight suffered his first loss in more than a year.
