LAS VEGAS – David Onama made a statement in his return to the octagon.
The UFC featherweight put to sleep his opponent Garrett Armfield in the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 39, which took place at the UFC Apex. Onama (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) submitted Armfield (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with an arm triangle choke at the 3:13 mark of Round 2.
The submission came following a very competitive opening round, where Armfield wobbled Onama with a hard punch. However, the grappling strength of Onama prevailed as he slapped on a deep submission to put his opponent to sleep.
