OSP Nails a Von Flue Choke in R1 to Kick Off UFC 171

Ovince St. Preux (OSP) just kicked off UFC 171 in a huge way against Nikita Krylov. How? Well, I’ll tell you, Nikita went for a guillotine choke on OSP but he didn’t quite have it, although he held onto it. Holding onto it just made things worse for him, though, with OSP locking in the Von Flue choke.

It looked like it might not happen, but damn did it ever, with one of the more rare chokes in MMA happening at UFC 171. Solid start to a promising card. GIF by Zprophet/@FansidedGIF
