Welcome to this week’s edition of MMA News’ Top 10 Finishes of the week! Every week there’s highlight-reel finishes all across the MMA world, and we’ve found some of the absolute best ones to showcase.
The year’s MMA schedule started off a bit slowly as far as the number of major events scheduled, but the week was highlighted by the first LFA and Cage Titans cards of 2023 and the debut of Uzbekistan’s Muradov Professional League on UFC Fight Pass. Those events featured enough action to fill out the majority of the year’s first Top 10 Finishes and resulted in a list that is particularly submission-heavy but topped by a pair of fantastic knockouts.
#10: Princeton Jackson Spoils Brant’s Debut
Princeton Jackson opened the main card of LFA’s first event of the year with the second-straight submission of his undefeated pro career.
The welterweight had to survive an early onslaught of strikes from the debuting Chris Brant before he eventually secured a rear naked choke late in the first round.
#9: Asliddin Eshankulov Stays Undefeated
Asliddin Eshankulov extended his perfect pro record when he took on Aziz Usmanov at Muradov Professional League 7.
The 25-year-old caught Usmanov with an armbar off his back in the third round and forced a tap for his fourth pro victory.
#8: Marcus McGhee Batters Ramos
Luciano Ramos got a chance to show off his chin at LFA 149, but eventually Marcus McGhee proved too much for him to handle.

#6: Aaron Hughes Jumps On A Choke
Aaron Hughes evened out his pro record and picked up his second-straight submission win when he faced Matt Denning at Cage Titans 57.
“Short Fuse” jumped for a guillotine choke and dragged Denning to the mat before he was finally forced to tap.
#5: Khamzat Maaev Is The New “Borz” On The Block

The welterweight brought Beauparlant to the mat and eventually managed to set up a brutal twister that resulted in a quick tap.
#2: Felipe Bunes Wins LFA Gold
Felipe Bunes was the only one eligible to win the flyweight title in the LFA 149 main event after Yuma Horiuchi missed weight, and the Brazilian didn’t waste his opportunity.
