Legend looks exhausted already! Oh dear, he should have come in in better shape than this!
Melendez has moved round to his opponent's back and is looking for a suplex! Oh snap! He's tossed Legend clear over his head and slammed him to the mat!
Legend is very frustrated here, being controlled quite effectively by Melendez.
Melendez is punishing Legend with strikes - can he finish him?!
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
Melendez slows the pace down here. Having a little breather whilst he's in a dominant position, looking to rest and regain some energy, ready to go for the finish.
Melendez's corner are shouting for him to control the position and he seems happy to oblige.
It looks like Melendez might be adopting somewhat of a lay and pray gameplan here, which I'm sure won't go down too well with the paying fans in attendance... Or the ring announcers come to think of it.
Melendez is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two.
Melendez has both hooks in and is working for a choke. Legend is in real trouble here. Melendez gets an arm under the chin and tightens the submission attempt... is this the end? Yes, Legend is tapping out! Melendez wins by rear naked choke!
