Joe Pyfer's impressive run in the UFC continued through UFC 320, as he scored a second-round submission of Abus Magomedov.
Pyfer looked to pressure Magomedov early, but Magomedov got him in a body lock against the fence and managed to take Pyfer down. Magomedov troubled Pyfer, keeping a hold of him, even during the time Pyfer briefly got the fight back to the feet. Magomedov also threatened a number of chokes on Pyfer.
Pyfer then used his pressure on Magomedov, who was tired from the grappling in the first round, to drop Magomedov with a right hand. After busting Magomedov open with an elbow, Pyfer threatened a couple of chokes himself, eventually locking in a rear-naked choke that scored the tapout.
