What a submission!!#UFCPhoenixhttps://t.co/gVkOl1jhSY
Add another win via Ezekiel choke for Aleksei Oleinik.
The hard-hitting heavyweight made fairly easy work of Viktor Pesta, catching him halfway through round one with his patented choke, forcing the tap from bottom position.
It’s a tough loss to swallow for Pesta, as he seemed to be in control while in top position and raining down strikes. But, when "The Boa Constrictor" gets a hold of your neck, it’s game, set, match. That is now 10 wins via Ezekiel choke for Aleksei — the first-ever for anyone inside the Octagon — who gets back on the winning track after having his 11 fight win streak snapped in his previous outing.
Aleksei moves to 51-10-1 in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and eyes a bump up the rankings list thanks to his highly-impressive submission victory.
