Fight Perspective: Antonio Carlos Junior walks us through UFC 212 submission of Eric Spicely in detail
nt"
With the benefit of hindsight, fighters can get all kinds of new perspective for the future when they look back at past fights.
Now, more than a year later, UFC standout Antonio Carlos Junior is giving us an exclusive look back at one of his recent wins. Junior (10-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), the heavyweight winner of Season 3 of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” submitted Eric Spicely with a rear-naked choke at UFC 212 in June 2017.
The win was part of his current five-fight winning streak and started his current run of three straight rear-naked choke finishes. In his seven UFC wins, five have come by that finish.
Junior gives us a highly cerebral look back at the fight with some incredible insight right down to how he looked to his coaches, and just how much he heard the crowd in Brazil not happy in the first round.
Check that out in the video above, and get some rear-naked choke tips, too. Junior next is set to face Elias Theodorou at UFC Fight Night 137 in Sao Paulo on Sept. 22.
