Charles Oliveira Extends Submission Record
3 years agoThe champion reigned supreme in UFC 269's main event with Charles Oliveira earning a third-round submission victory over Dustin Poirier on Saturday. In 11:02 of total action, Oliveira actually out-struck the dangerous striker by landing 73 significant strikes (98 total strikes), but he failed on all six of his takedown tries. The third time was the charm, as Oliveira attempted three submissions on the night. The last one, a rear-naked choke in the third round, ended up being the winning move. With 40 professional bouts now under his belt, the 32-year-old looks to be the absolute cream of the crop in the organization's deepest division.
