Proud patriot Joe Pyfer celebrates his submission victory at UFC Vegas 80: ‘I just beat Africa’

Joe Pyfer believes he has bested the entire continent of Africa with his win over Abdul Razak Alhassan.

‘Bodybagz’ scored his third-straight W inside the Octagon at UFC Vegas 80, earning a slick second-round arm triangle submission against Alhassan, improving his overall record to 12-2.

With the UFC’s ban on flags officially reversed, Pyfer proudly draped the stars and stripes over his shoulder while delivering an impassioned post-fight speech with Daniel Cormier. Later on that evening, ‘Bodybagz’ sat down in front of members of the media and continued to share his joy over being able to represent the United States inside The APEX, flag and all.
