You can say this for Michal Oleksiejczuk after UFC 302: He doesn't quit easily. Possibly to his detriment.

The last fight before the co-main event at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, saw a bizarre first-round finish between the Polish fighter and UFC veteran Kevin Holland, with Holland emerging the victor via submission.

Oleksiejczuk connected on what looked like a fight-changing blow, leveling Holland with an opportunity to end the fight on the ground. He jumped in, but left his right arm a little too close to Holland, who grabbed it for an inescapable arm bar.
