Paddy Pimblett passed arguably his toughest test to date in flying colors.
In the UFC 304 feature bout, Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) backed up all the talk with a textbook triangle choke submission that left King Green (32-16-1 MMA, 13-11-1 UFC) snoozing on the canvas at 3:22 of Round 1. The lightweight bout took place at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.
Green came out swinging, but ultimately shot for a takedown. Pimblett grabbed his neck and pulled for a guillotine choke. When Green popped his head out, Pimblett promptly snatched a triangle choke. Green tried to adjust, but Pimblett grabbed his leg.
