The time might be right to buy some Josh Samman stock.
Samman submitted Caio Magalhaes with a first-round rear-naked choke at “The Ultimate Fighter 21” Finale on Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Magalhaes (9-2, 4-2 UFC) conceded defeat 2:52 into round one, as he was finished for the first time in his 11-fight career.
A graduate of Season 17 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Samman (12-2, 3-0 UFC) zeroed in on the Brazilian’s legs with kicks and bloodied his nose with a stinging jab. The MMA Masters standout then countered a kick with a takedown, jumped to Magalhaes’ back and cinched a standing rear-naked choke.
