Demian Maia compounded Ben Askren’s ongoing misery, as he submitted the former Bellator MMA and One Championship titleholder with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their UFC Fight Night 162 headliner on Saturday in Kallang, Singapore. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has recorded three straight wins, proving he still has more left in the tank.
Meanwhile, Steven Ray won a majority decision over Michael Johnson; Beneil Dariush continued his winning ways by tapping Frank Camacho; Ciryl Gane impressed onlookers after a dominant performance led to a heel hook submission of Don'Tale Mayes; and Muslim Salikhov outpointed Laureano Staropoli.
