It was a seasoned veteran vs. an undefeated young up-and-coming talent when No. 4-ranked featherweight Cub Swanson met No. 6-ranked Brian Ortega in the main event of last night’s (Sat., December 9, 2017) UFC Fight Night 123 from Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
With crucial ranking positioning up for grabs, Swanson came out strong early in his perceived area of strength. He hit Ortega with some precise punches and appeared to be on his way to winning round one. But Ortega used his slick submission skills to lock up a tight choke in the final seconds of the frame, and he looked for the same in the second.
When Swanson left his neck open for a split second, Ortega snatched it and locked on a tight standing guillotine which Swanson fought through. “T-City” made a world-class adjustment, however, cinching in the choke even further and earning the tap from the longtime contender for his biggest-ever win. Watch the highlights of Ortega’s jaw-dropping submission victory here:

Former WSOF bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes has been looking to make a big impact on the packed UFC 135-pound landscape, and he did just that at tonight’s (Sat., December 9, 2017) UFC Fight Night 123 from Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
Facing Top 10-ranked Aljamain Sterling on the main card, Mores came out strong by dropping the East Coast contender early. But Sterling was able to bounce up rather quickly, even throwing up a triangle and armbar attempts from the ground.
Moraes persevered, and the fight ended incredibly violently shortly thereafter. He threw a switch kick and right as he did, Sterling closed the distance to eat an absolutely brutal knee that hit him flush on the chin and knocked him out cold. Watch the finish to the furious bout here:
