After lighting up Sam Alvey on the feet in Round 1, Julian Marquez put his foe away in the second frame. Marquez dropped Alvey with a big left hand and started to hammer away with strikes on the ground. When the referee didn't step in, Marquez locked in a modified rear-naked choke that put Alvey to sleep.
PUT HIM TO SLEEP@JMarquezMMA was relentless in RD 2!
