UFC 272 early prelims results & video: Nurmagomedov subs Kelleher, Elliott holds off Ulanbekov

The UFC 272 card is underway, and the early prelims just wrapped up with one finish and three decisions. The lone finish came when Umar Nurmagomedov stopped Brian Kelleher with a first-round rear-naked choke. Once Nurmagomedov entered the clinch, it was only a matter of time before he found a way to get to the back and sink the choke. This is Umar’s third RNC in a row, he extended his unbeaten record to 14-0, and under the tutelage of Khabib Nurmagomedov he is proving to be quite the prospect.

Before that, the flyweight division got a grueling war between the #13 ranked, Tim Elliott, and the #15 ranked, Tagir Ulanbekov.
