Summary
Eight seconds from the final bell, Bryce Mitchell locked in an arm-triangle choke to stop Santiago Luna and move to 2-0 since dropping to bantamweight.
Mitchell’s wrestling steadily wore down the 21-year-old Mexican prospect, who accepted the fight on nine days’ notice after Victor Henry withdrew with a knee injury.
Luna repeatedly engaged Mitchell on the mat, but the veteran kept gaining superior positions and forced the finish when he got back on top late in the third round.
The win lifted Mitchell to 19-3 overall and 10-3 in the UFC, while Luna fell to 8-1 with the first loss of his nine-fight pro career.
