Allan Nascimento showed off his grappling skills at UFC Fight Night 217 – all with the UFC’s all-time submission wins leader Charles Oliveira in his corner.
The Chute Box product Nascimento (20-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) proved to be too much for opponent Carlos Hernandez (8-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) to handle on the mat in Saturday’s flyweight bout at the UFC Apex, locking in a standing rear-naked choke at the 3:16 mark of Round 1.
It was clear Nascimento was chasing the submission from the get-go. He got the fight to the ground and took the back, then as Hernandez tried to escape to his feet, the choke locked in deep and he was forced to tap.
