LONDON – Oliver Enkamp was having a rough night until he pulled off a submission of the year candidate at Bellator 281.
Down two rounds heading into the final frame against Mark Lemminger (12-5 MMA, 2-4 BMMA) in Friday’s event at OVO Arena Wembley in London, Enkamp (11-3 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) pulled off a buggy choke less than 30 seconds into Round 3 to get back to the win column.
Enkamp was dropped and almost finished in the second round, but managed to survive. At the start of Round 3, Enkamp attempted a spinning back kick but was taken down when Lemminger caught his attempt. However, Enkamp immediately capitalized by wrapping his legs around Lemminger’s neck and body, submitting him with a buggy choke at the 0:25 mark of Round 3.
