Joanderson Brito picked up another ninja choke victory in the Octagon, scoring a submission of Jordan Levitt with it late in the first round of their UFC Vegas 118 preliminary card matchup.
Leavitt looked to stop Brito’s forward pressure with his grappling and control, holding Brito against the fence and in a guillotine hold. Brito then looked to use his striking to bring pressure back on Leavitt, which Leavitt eventually responded to with a takedown attempt.
That opened an opportunity for Brito, who locked on a ninja choke and scored the submission.
