Quickly taps out in Vegas
Bonfim lost to Benoit Saint-Denis via submission (face crank) at 4:48 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Bonfim got a ton of helium as the result of his knockout win over Terrance McKinney in his UFC debut this past January. He found himself a shocking -275 favorite against Saint-Denis and it didn't go well. Bonfim had zero answers for the grappling game of his opponent, allowing two takedowns for 2:57 worth of control in the brief bout. Bonfim found himself in a modified rear-naked choke with just seconds remaining in the opening frame, and although it appeared to be more of a face crank than actual choke, Ismael still tapped out. The defeat snaps a 13-fight winning streak for the Brazilian and it's imperative he rebound with a strong effort his next time out.
