SuYoung You won the Road to UFC bantamweight tournament on Saturday, securing a decisive decision victory over Baergeng Jieleyisi at UFC Macau.
Things got off to a fast start with Jieleyisi and You slinging leather early. 90 seconds into the opening round, You shot in for a single leg and managed to work his opponent down to the mat getting into Jieleyisi’s guard. You seamlessly transitioned into half-guard, but Jieleyisi did a good job of defending from the bottom and preventing You from landing anything substantial while on top.
With just under two minutes to go, Jieleyisi scrambled his way back up but ate a knee for his trouble and was quickly slammed back to the mat, giving You side control in the process.
