Gutierrez (15-3-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) pressed Morales early, walking him down the cage while landing many kicks, most of which targeted Morales’ left leg. The accumulation of the leg kicks made it hard for Morales to stand. After falling several times due to the kicks, referee Jason Herzog shut things down in the second round.
