In a light heavyweight prelim at UFC 288, Nzechukwu turned the tables on Clark to win by technical submission due to standing guillotine choke in the second round.
As he’s done often throughout his career, Nzechukwu overcame adversity to storm back and win. In the first round, Nzechukwu covered up after a stunning Clark punch. With his back up against the fence, Nzechukwu utilized the clinch to escape the onslaught and nearly finish Clark with repeated elbows.
Clark survived until the end of the round, but Nzechukwu’s clinch would once again prove successful in Round 2. When Clark shot for a takedown, Nzechukwu grabbed hold of his neck and squeezed. Clark attempted to hand-fight and escape, but no dice. Nzechukwu’s squeeze rendered him unconscious as he face-planted to the canvas.
Nzechukwu, 30, kept rolling as he extends his winning streak to three. Clark, 33, fell to 2-2 in his most recent four.
