Dennis Bermudez solidifies his spot in the UFC house with his 2nd round referee stoppage against top prospect Jimmie Rivera.  Rivera was highly regarded as an early favorite to win the entire TUF 14 Feather-Weight division.  Dennis did a great job of composing himself after a slow start, ultimately taking the back of Rivera and finishing the fight with a barrage of punches.  You made us all proud here at Long Island MMA Dennis!
