RIO DE JANEIRO - Gamely dodging most of Sam Sicilia's wild striking, Rony Jason was successful in his first appearance since winning "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil."
After a heated exchange late in the second, Jason landed a flurry of strikes to the grounded vet of "The Ultimate Fighter Live" that prompted referee intervention in the third round.
The featherweight bout closed out the preliminary card of Saturday's UFC 153 event at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
