At Fury Fighting Championship 29 on Friday, Colin Wright won the Fury Fighting Championship featherweight title, dethroning Rey Trujillo via second-round triangle choke.
The fight played out as a classic striker-versus-grappler matchup, with the veteran Trujillo landing heavy punches throughout the first round and Wright working diligently to get the fight to the floor. On the occasions where Wright managed to secure the takedown, however, Trujillo fought out of a variety of submission attempts and escaped to his feet. In the second round, perhaps showing fatigue, Trujillo gave up an early takedown, and it was all Wright from there.
