Many predicted Nelson would finish Tumenov on the mat, and to those who had their money where their mouths were, big congratulations are in order! 2) Nikita Krylov by Submission (+331) Nikita Krylov continued to impress with a second round rear naked choke submission of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Francimar Barroso, making it four in a row four himself inside the Octagon with all four victories coming way of finish.
