Westin Wilson caused a major upset at UFC Vegas 93 by defeating Jeka Saragih with a triangle armbar submission in the first round. Despite being seen as an underdog with a questionable chin, Wilson managed to showcase his grappling skills and secure the victory.
During the fight, Wilson executed a powerful takedown and immediately went for submission attempts, putting Saragih on the defensive. Saragih attempted to counter by slamming Wilson to the ground, but this only resulted in him falling into a tighter triangle armbar. Wilson continued to apply pressure until Saragih was forced to tap out.
This win was a significant turnaround for Wilson, who had previously suffered two consecutive knockout losses in his UFC career. By sticking to his gameplan of wrestling and staying composed, Wilson was able to secure the rare triangle armbar finish, which has only been achieved 12 times in UFC history.
Wilson’s performance at UFC Vegas 93 has put him in the running for a post-fight bonus and has undoubtedly raised his profile in the featherweight division. Fans can watch the final moments of the fight in the video provided.
