NEWARK, N.J. – Matt Schnell made quick work of opponent Jordan Espinosa on Saturday on the preliminary card at UFC on ESPN 5 in Newark, N.J.
Take a look inside the fight with Schnell, who ran his winning streak to four fights.
Result: Matt Schnell def. Jordan Espinosa via submission (triangle choke) – Round 1, 1:23
Updated records: Schnell (14-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC), Espinosa (14-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC)
Key stat: Schnell’s submission of Espinosa was the second quickest in UFC flyweight history.
“It’s worked twice in a row now – guillotine (choke) to triangle. Interesting. He was hurt. As he came in, I think I clipped him behind the ear. He was face first in the mat. I think if I would’ve been able to separate and hammerfist him a couple times, it would’ve been a TKO victory.”
“(Champion) Henry (Cejudo is) hurt and touring South America with Brazilian supermodels. If he won’t keep this division afloat, somebody’s got to step up, and that’s me. I can finish all these guys. It’s taken me getting my feet wet and taking my lumps to prove it to myself. I have respect for everybody, but they can all get it. I’m the best in the world.”
“I want Deiveson Figueiredo next. I figure that sets up someone to fight Joseph Benavidez. Deiveson’s a tough fight. I like that he’s ranked up there. He just beat (Alexandre) Pantoja, who’s a friend of mine. I think Deiveson is the guy to beat to make me No. 1 contender. I’m just looking up and have a family on the way. I’ve just finished two guys in a row. I’m the best in the world – period.”
