Lightweight contender Michael Chiesa looked superb against Beneil Dariush in the featured preliminary bout as he scored a second-round submission.

Sherdog.com’s UFC on Fox 19 coverage kicks off Saturday at approximately 4:20 p.m. ET.

Michael Chiesa should have the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division.

After trading solid punches early in their fight, Santiago Ponzinibbio proved to have too much firepower for TUF 11 winner Court McGee.

Michael Graves was able to remain unbeaten in his still-blossoming career with a second-round submission of Randy Brown.



After scoring a massive takedown early in the frame, the American Top Team fighter controlled the action with steady pressure and effective ground-n-pound. Finally, when Brown tried to escape out from the bottom, he gave up his back, allowing Graves to seize it and quickly latch on a textbook rear-naked choke, forcing the tap. The official time of the submission was 2:31 of the second.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will hold its first-ever event in South Dakota on July 13.
