The fight started with Buchecha looking to grapple and, at the same time, Ji Won tried to keep him standing. Even so, the Brazilian applied a double leg and from above he worked traumatic left blows to adjust his position. Quickly, the Brazilian managed to transition to the back and saw his rival being 'easy prey' when he locked in a rear naked choke.

With that, Marcus Buchecha achieved his second MMA triumph in two fights. Previously, in September this year, the Brazilian submitted compatriot Anderson 'Braddock' Silva in the first round. Kang Ji Won, on the other hand, suffers his first career setback. A professional since 2018, the South Korean had scored five consecutive victories.
