UFC Fortaleza results: Charles Oliveira survives bad eye poke, stuns and chokes David Teymur

Charles Oliveira (26-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC) continues to to get better, this time submitting David Teymur (8-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and adding to his UFC record for most tapouts in company history.

The lightweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC on ESPN+ 2 event at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. It streamed on ESPN+.

The contest got off to a terrible start, with Teymur pushing away after a blocked kick and driving his fingers into Oliveira’s eyes. The Brazilian’s eyes were clearly reddened, and he struggled to keep them open as the doctor came to take a look, leading referee Jerin Valel to take a point for the infraction. On the restart, Oliveira immediately complained again of another poke. Clearly angered, Oliveira rushed forward to attack with a leaping kick that landed, busting up Teymur’s right eye. As Oliveira continued to push, a Teymur left landed flush and dropped him to the floor. Teymur didn’t follow, and Oliveira got back to his feet, where the brawling continued.

Oliveira complained of another eye poke, and Valel warned both fighters to keep it clean. Oliveira then immediately shot forward and drug the action to the canvas, though Teymur was able to scramble back to the feet after a few tense moments. An Oliveira knee to the body clearly took its toll, and a straight right followed.

The two continued to strike at close range in the second, and Oliveira landed a brutal short elbow inside the clearly stunned his foe. An uppercut followed, and Teymur cowered against the cage. Oliveira rushed with punches as his opponent turned his back, and it seemed the fight might end there. Instead, when Teymur turned to try and stay alive, Oliveira grabbed the neck, brought his opponent to the canvas and latched in the choke, quickly earning the tap via anaconda choke 55 seconds into the frame.
