Malcolm Wellmaker suffered a second-round submission loss to UFC newcomer Juan Diaz on the main card of UFC Vegas 117 on Saturday. The opening round was competitive, but the ending sequence came in the second round after Diaz took Wellmaker down. With a minute left in the second round, Diaz dragged Wellmaker down and quickly submitted him with a rear-naked choke. In 9:08 of action, Wellmaker landed 15 significant strikes. This is Wellmaker's second loss in a row, after winning 10 consecutive fights. With the loss, Wellmaker dropped to 10-2 as a pro and is now 2-2 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic
