Of all the ways to pick up your first win as a professional, this has to be considered truly extraordinary.
English MMA fighter Rico Franco had dropped his pro debut at Caged Steel Fighting Championship 16 last December. His second bout occurred two weeks ago (under the same promotion) against the 0-4 Steve Webster, who had been finished in all of his defeats. After advancing to full mount and then taking Webster’s back, Franco worked on securing a twister on his opponent. The commentators pointed out the brief period where Franco was going for the banana split, but he soon returned to going for the twister finish, and he was able to get Webster to tap.
