An unusual finishing sequence at UFC Fight Night 243 in Paris on Saturday that resulted in a fighter snoozing even baffled the bout’s winner.
Chris Duncan, like most viewers, was stunned when he determined Bolaji Oki was snoozing on his chest after popping out of a guillotine choke in their lightweight prelim clash at Accor Arena.
The submission itself was not unfamiliar territory. Duncan (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) adores the guillotine choke. As he squeezed Oki’s neck, however, the math didn’t add up. Something was off.
