Ligero had to work to find a way to take down his much bigger opponent. He did a good job, but Ohno&#8217;s size and strength (and questionable tactics) were too much for Ligero to withstand for any significant length of time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJordan Devlin says he&#8217;s not happy about his match against Walter next week.
