LAS VEGAS — Da’Mon Blackshear and Jose Johnson came out firing hard punches and kicks at each other in their bantamweight bout Saturday on the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 78 at Apex.
It was Blackshear’s ground game that made the difference with a rare win by twister. The submission, which came at 3:47 of the first round, was only the third win by twister in UFC history.
“Oh it feels amazing [to be one of the three who won by twister submission],” Blackshear said in the Octagon after the fight.
