Count it five consecutive victories for middleweight mainstay, Derek Brunson who turns in a dominant UFC Vegas 36 headliner to submit Darren Till with a third round rear-naked choke — rounding out tonight’s nine-fight card.

Headlining in his third consecutive event, Brunson managed to utilise his wrestling to his advantage in each of the three rounds — scoring three successful shots over the course of the main event clash.

Attempting to mitigate the lethal boxing of Till early, the Sanford MMA staple managed to take Till down in the first, landing a series of bruising elbows and ground strikes whilst postured from half guard.

With more of the same in the second frame for the veteran contender, Brunson pressured a maybe over enthusiastic Till in the third to eventually take his back past the second minute mark.

Locking his hands under the Team Kaobon mainstay’s neck at the Octagon fence, the #5 ranked, Till managed to force an eventual tap — before calling for a championship rematch against either reigning champion, Israel Adesanya or former champion and incoming challenger, Robert Whittaker.

Below, catch the highlights from Brunson’s impressive submission success against Till.

Rountree Jr.

UFC light heavyweight striker, Khalil Rountree Jr. is back in the winner’s enclosure following a two-fight skid — stopping former Cage Warriors kingpin, Modestas Bukauskas with a nasty second round technical knockout after landing a debilitating oblique kick on the main card of UFC Vegas 36.

Exploding early and often in the opening round, an uber-aggressive, Rountree Jr. closed the distance on cue and appeared to have broken the nose of Bukauskas with his boxing before the close of the first frame.

Trudging through with nasty leg kicks to the thigh of Bukauskas, the 31-year-old Californian drew a massive reaction from the Lithuanian with an oblique kick to his left knee half way through the second round, as the latter immediately reverted to the Octagon canvas as referee, Herb Dean stopped the fight.

Below, catch the highlights from Rountree Jr.’s sixth knockout win.
