Édgar Cháirez became extremely emotional after achieving a sensational victory on Saturday evening.
UFC Mexico City started with an 'absolute robbery' before we saw a rare blooper from Bruce Buffer.
Things turned around when Loopy Godinez Daniel Cormier drove crazy by getting a Powerbomb during her fight before Raul Rosas JR won and a record of Vitor Belfort in 1998, six years before the Bantamweight perspective was born.
It was a night of wild moments, but none of them was more heartbreaking than the reaction of Édgar Cháirez to beating CJ Vegara.

Édgar Cháirez shares a heartbreaking reason for UFC Mexico -Tears
Cháirez dropped and tapped his opponent after just 2:30 of De Ronde one on Saturday evening.
After the fight, the 29-year-old fell to his knees and started crying hysterically on the floor.
It was initially unclear exactly what he was so emotional about, but then he spoke with Daniel Cormier.
'Puro Chicali' devoted the victory to his deceased grandfather, who helped to finance a career -saving operation.
About a year ago I didn't have the money to get an operation, and I couldn't do anything, “Cháirez said by a translator when he broke in tears again.
“My grandfather, who was also a father for me, he sold his truck to pay for the operation. That is why I am here!
“He was here last year. This year he wasn't. But I know he is in the first row in heaven who looks at me tonight.”
