With a career built on victories, Jimmy Flick did not surprise Cody Durden in his octagon debut, but no one could have predicted the spectacular fashion of his finish.
The Contender Series veteran was facing some early fights against Durden, but then Flick fired a header that changed the momentum of the fight. Durden actually caught the shot, but this allowed Flick to jump into the air as he stared at the opponent and fell to the ground after catching the suffocation of the flying triangle.
As soon as the action hit the mattress, Flick locked his legs in position and Durden was caught with nowhere. Despite his efforts to break free, Durden entered the opening round at 3:18 p.m.
“It simply came to our notice then. The fights are over, ”Flick shouted after making his UFC debut. “I am just excited. I threw that header and when he grabbed it, I just threw that flying triangle. Your boy wants that $ 50,000! “
With 16 wins on his resume and 14 coming as a submission, Flick has proven to be dangerous whenever the fight hits the floor, but his suffocating flying triangle has shown he is willing to put into practice creative and unique ways to bring action into the world. to the earth.
Flick got a similarly impressive performance on the Contender series to win his UFC contract and now leads a four-fight winning streak overall. As the flying weight division continues to grow, Flick appears to be a growing prospect after winning the lead role at UFC Vegas 17.
