Said Nurmagomedov had a quick night at the office.

The Dagestani took little time to dispatch bantamweight veteran Cody Stamann on the UFC 270 main card on Saturday. Nurmagomedov (15-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) submitted Stamann (19-5-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) with a guillotine choke at the 0:47 mark of Round 1.

Nurmagomedov immediately went at Stamann with hard, explosive kicks and punches. Stamann initiated the grappling in response to Nurmagomedov’s strikes, but was quickly caught in a guillotine choke. Stamann had no time to fight it, as it was extremely deep. He was forced to tapped a few seconds after the choke was locked.

It was a swift and dominant showing by Nurmagomedov.
