The main card of UFC 282 kicked off with a matchup between undefeated featherweights that saw Ilia Topuria score a submission win over Bryce Mitchell.
The differing styles of the two men were on display in the first round, as Topuria was throwing big punches while Mitchell largely focused on landing kicks to set up his takedown attempts. “Thug Nasty” did succeed in getting things to the mat in the last minute of the opening round, but it appeared to be Topuria that had done more damage to start things off.
Mitchell tried going back to his takedowns early in the second round but also had success walking Topuria down, including landing a combination that ended with a glancing head kick. The 28-year-old’s striking success didn’t last long however, as he was dropped by a right hand from Topuria before ending up on his back.
“Thug Nasty” did well to return to his feet but ended up being thrown down again by his Georgian opponent, who landed strikes from the top before grabbing an arm triangle choke to claim victory.
