The first submission finish under the UFC banner in 2025 was nothing short of beautiful, and it came courtesy of Felipe Bunes at UFC Fight Night 249.
With his back on the mat early in the flyweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Bunes (14-7 MMA, 1-1 UFC) quickly transitioned into an armbar attack on Jose Johnson (16-10 MMA, 1-3 UFC), who valiantly attempted to escape, but was forced to tap out at the 2:04 mark of Round 1.
