UFC Stockholm: Makwan Amirkhani Subs Chris Fishgold

Makwan Amirkhani added another impressive win to his resume today at UFC Stockholm, by submitting noted grappler, Chris Fishgold.

Amirkhani charged out with a flying knee but Fishgold blocked it and circled away. Moments later, Fishgold took an accidental poke to the eye. Fishgold threatened with a head kick moments later, and the two exchanged leg kicks. Midround, Amirkhani countered a Fishgold rush beautifully with a level change and takedown. Fishgold put Amirkhani on the defensive, however, with a triangle-choke attempt that the featherweight worked out of. In an ensuing scramble, Amirkhani slapped on a choke right before the round ended.

Amirkhani attempted another jumping knee not long into round two. Fishgold continued to press forward and he scored with a nice right. Amirkhani taunted Fishgold by sticking out his chin, and not long after, he sent him to the deck with an illegal/accidental kick to the cup. Fishgold took a bit of time to recover, and resumed pressuring Amirkhani. Moments later, Amirkhani shot in for a TD but Fishgold countered with a guillotine choke attempt. Amirkhani defended, however, and took the top position. As Fishgold tried to scramble out, Amirkhani trapped him with an anaconda choke that eventually produced the tap.

Here are the results so far for UFC Stockholm.
