The UFC’s #10 welterweight, Demian Maia, submitted the #11 ranked Ben Askren with a constricting rear-naked choke in the third round of the UFC Singapore main event.
What was the high point of the fight?
Maia putting Askren to sleep was by far the best highest point of the fight. Duh! There was more striking going on across the first-two frames than anyone cared to see, but the catharsis came in the third round when Askren realized an early takedown and they started to grapple with some time on the clock. Maia used a leg lock attempt to sweep into top position, and then seamlessly transitioned to the back.
