Rebounds with stellar effort
Brahimaj defeated Micheal Gillmore via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:02 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a dominant effort from Brahimaj and an excellent showing on the heels of his woeful unanimous decision defeat at the hands of the aging Court McGee a little over a month ago. Blessed with a massive edge in terms of athleticism and physicality, Brahimaj attempted a takedown not long after the opening bell rang and eventually worked to take Gillmore's back and secure the stoppage win. The level of opponent Brahimaj was going up against needs to be seriously taken into consideration here, but he needed a big effort, and he got it. Brahimaj has now alternated wins and losses in his first four UFC bouts, with both wins coming via submission.
