Islam Makhachev’s submission adds to the list of UFC Calgary video highlights.
On the FOX portion of the UFC Calgary prelims, Makhachev took on Kajan Johnson. While Johnson was riding a four-fight winning streak, Makhachev hadn’t lost a fight since Oct. 2015. On this night, it was Makhachev who walked out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a victory.
Makhachev remained patient in the opening frame and didn’t rush a takedown attempt. When the opportunity presented itself, Makhachev brought Johnson down to the mat and worked his magic. He pulled off a submission via armbar.
