Gutierrez on the fight’s key moment

“I just started landing (the leg kicks). We went in there with a game plan – it’s secret; I can’t really say what it was. It just started landing, and then my coach kept calling it. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.”

Gutierrez on his Guatemalan roots

“A couple fights back I made history in Guatemala, I became the first Guatemalan fighter to ever step foot in the octagon. So just to be making history says a lot, and I’m proud to be that person.”
