Submission Underground 17 went off last night, live on UFC Fight Pass. In the main event there was a trilogy match between SUG Absolute champ Mason Fowler and Craig Jones.
There was controversy there last time these two tangled, at SUG 16 in July. In that bout BJJ brown belt Fowler won the Absolute title after a ‘verbal tapout’ from Jones, a black belt. However, Jones maintains that—regardless what the referee heard—he did not tap, he was merely making a noise. Either way, Fowler raised the title and put it back on the line versus Jones last night.
