UFC Vegas 53 results and highlights: Romanov easily taps Sherman, Figueiredo kneebars Da Silva

The UFC Vegas 53 prelims were blessed with four finishes across five fights, including one silky smooth kneebar, and a heavyweight Americana. In the card’s featured prelim, a -2200 betting favorite, Alexandr Romanov, looked every bit deserving of that moneyline when he ran right through +1100 underdog, Chase Sherman. Romanov went right to the takedown and tossed Sherman in spectacular fashion, and then proceeded to lock up an Americana to get the tap. On the mic after his win, Romanov called for a match with the UFC’s #13 ranked, Augusto Sakai. Man, now at 16-0 this guy looks unstoppable!
