Vazquez's flyweight title fight at Fury FC 76 became a non-title bout after Chairez missed weight by 2. 5 pounds. In round four, Chairez locked in a triangle choke that rendered Vazquez unconscious, but referee Frank Collazo never stopped the fight; Chairez then transitioned to an armbar, and only after Vazquez regained consciousness mid-submission and tapped did the bout officially end. The delayed stoppage left Vazquez with a potential arm fracture and ligament damage and drew national criticism of the officiating.
