UFC Vegas 58 originally matched Dana Onama with Austin Lingo. Lingo pulled out opening room for Garett Armfield. Armfield is a newbie in the UFC looking to make his debut as a short notice replacement.
Funnily enough, Armfield duked it out with Onama once before, as an amateur.
The two started the fight exchanging jabs. Armfield tied up Onama but Onama actually managed to land two takedowns. Armfield was scrambling a lot and pressured Onama to the cage. Onama attempted a kimura as he went down but Armfield managed to land on top.
Soon enough Onama was back on his feet and landed a couple lefts in order to close out Round 1.
Round two started with Onama throwing loaded strikes but Armfield appeared to have the edge in striking exchanges. Armfield shot on Onama, Onama sprawled and circled to the back. Armfield stood up and Onama took him down and once he rolled to his back Onama locked in an arm triangle which he initially defended but in the end put him out cold.
