“Bam Bam’s” height and weight disadvantage were on full display at the weigh-ins.\u00a0 They were hard to ignore, and Perez’s victory seemed likely.<\/p>\n

The beginning of the fight went as expected.\u00a0 Perez was aggressive, but Sarran was able to withstand the storm and brought the fight to the ground.\u00a0 To the fans’ delight, Sarran won via a “North-South Choke” in the second round.<\/p>\n

But Sarran was not satisfied with slaying only one giant.<\/p>\n

Sarran’s next opponent was the aptly named Mexican fighter, Alejandro “Goliath” Sol\u00f3rzano, with six straight wins, and who would be fighting in his own backyard, Guadalajara.\u00a0 Not to mention, he had 13 inches on Sarran.<\/p>\n
