The matchup seemed cursed at times, as if business never would get settled. But at UFC Fight Night 237 on Saturday, Edgar Chairez finally got the best of Daniel Lacerda – without issue.
In a flyweight prelim at Mexico City Arena, Chairez (11-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) pulled off a slick triangle choke from his back to submit Lacerda (11-6 MMA, 0-5 UFC) at the 2:17 mark of Round 1.
Left no doubt in the rematch

The fight marked the end of a months-long saga of Chairez and Lacerda being aligned. The two initially fought in September. The bout was ruled a no contest after referee Chris Tognoni erroneously deemed Lacerda unconscious during a standing submission attempt. The fight was rebooked for October, but canceled again due to a medical issue with Lacerda. Ahead of Saturday’s bout, both fighters missed weight. Chairez weighed 131 pounds and Lacerda tipped the scale at 127.
