UFC Fight Night 239 video: Jafel Filho dominates Ode Osbourne, finishes fight with choke

Jafel Filho had himself an afternoon Saturday in Las Vegas.

A rising UFC flyweight, Filho (16-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) put forth perhaps his most statement-making outing when he dominated Ode Osbourne (12-7 MMA, 4-5 UFC) en route to a rear-naked choke submission at 4:27 of Round 1. UFC Fight Night 239 took place at the UFC Apex.

The finishing sequence came after Filho mounted Osbourne. As Filho rained down heavy ground-and-pound punches, Osbourne gave up his back. From there, Filho slipped his hand under the chin and squeezed until the tap came.

Filho has won back-to-back fights after a loss in his debut. All three of his UFC appearances have ended inside the distance.
