LAS VEGAS – David Onama made a declaration in his return to the octagon.
The UFC featherweight put to sleep his challenger Garrett Armfield in the initial card of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 39, which took location at the UFC Apex. Onama (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) sent Armfield (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with an arm triangle choke at the 3: 13 mark of Round 2.
The submission came following a really competitive opening round, where Armfield wobbled Onama with a tough punch. However, the grappling strength of Onama dominated as he slapped on a deep submission to put his challenger to sleep.
