Miami, FL- It might have been his only second professional mixed marital arts fight, but Chris Renteria (2-0) seemed like a seasoned fighter as he earned a victory inside la jaula defeating Alexander Sanchez by way of rear naked choke in the first round at 1:02.

Renteria is poised to have a bright future, the majority of his amateur fights were finishes and so far in his professional fights, both of his bouts have lasted less than two minutes.

Similar to Fedor Emelianenko or Mirko Cro Cop, he didn’t show much emotion and focused on his foe.

“For some of the opponents, it might have an effect on them but for some it may not,” he said. “For all my fights, I tend to be very focused and serious even when the opponent tries to trash talk or act cocky.”

Although he has not experienced going the distance, he said he is prepared if needed.

“The game plan was to take him down and not let him up at any moment. My training program is geared to go all out for five minutes and five rounds,” he said.

The cross-country runner has made an impact in his career so far who wasn’t bothered with the lack of fans inside the studio where the bouts were filmed.

“It felt like any other fight because I block everything out, so it’s just me inside the ring,” he added.

For celebration, he spent time with his fiancé and a couple of friends who flew to Miami.

Fans from the United States and Mexico tuned in to his competition, he said.

As for his next fight, he said he would like to compete again in la jaula if the opportunity is his.
