MMA fighter Zach Fry likely entered the conversation for ‘Submission of the Year’ with a wild sequence at UK Fighting Championships 20.
Fry faced Alex Gil in an amateur bantamweight matchup on Saturday in Preston, UK. Both fighters looked to get back on track in their amateur careers after recent losses.
Just seconds into the fight, Fry pushed forward and attempted to take down Gil against the fence. After his initial attempt proved unsuccessful, he jumped into a flying triangle and choked out Gil on the ground.
