Paddy Pimblett got swarmed really early by Kazula Vargas. Vargas’ shoulder looked peculiar from the get go.
Pimblett was taken down early with Vargas ending up in open guard and advancing to half guard. Vargas believed it would turn out to be a grappling match beforehand. Paddy’s arm was controlled with a strong overhook.
Pimblett was quick to reverse his fortunes landing an impressive takedown on Vargas. From there Paddy progressed to back control – and subsequently Rear naked choke finish.
