After a decision win at UFC Vegas 46 in mid-January, middleweight Jamie Pickett decided to step in on short notice to fight Kyle Daukaus at UFC Vegas 48 on Saturday. The two fought at a catchweight with Daukaus winning via D’arce choke with one second left in the first round.
Normally, fighters can tough out a submission attempt with the clock winding down. But in Pickett’s case, it was necessary. As he explained in a Facebook post after the fight, he had his tongue caught between his teeth during the submission attempt that he nearly bit it off.
