Submission! Onama Puts Armfield To Sleep

David Onama had some early trouble with a scrappy Garrett Armfield but in the end kept his 100% finish rate intact.

Garrett Armfield put up a good fight for a last minute replacement and +575 dog, but David Onama ended up being too much for the new UFC fighter. He put Armfield to sleep with a head and arm choke midway through the second round.

The first round was a wild back and forth as Onama pushed forward with takedown attempts and grappling exchanges. Garret Armfield responded with explosive scrambles to reverse a lot of positions. He stayed tricky and slippy through the first, although Onama was tagging him in the striking exchanges.

The second round saw Onama’s gas tank pay dividends as the same grappling exchanges that Armfield wiggled out of now started to work. Onama got Armfield into half guard and locked up a head and arm choke. Armfield did his best to fight it, grabbing his leg and forcing some space. But Onama put the flex on and put Armfield completely to sleep.
