That was madness. Malcolm Gordon was absolutely teeing off on Jimmy Flick and the crowd was going absolutely insane. One lapse of over leveraging his balance resulted in a quick takedown for Flick followed by a deep choke. That was a very quick change in momentum. Like I said…
Must. Watch. Submission!!! Malcolm Gordon was all over Jimmy Flick in R1 but seemed to gas out. Flick comes back in R2 and locks in the arm triangle for the tap! Very disappointing for Gordon. #UFC #UFC297 #MMATwitter https://t.co/iSNuzE3f8r
