The finish.

It was a vicious guillotine that Madadi slapped on Izquierdo, and he really wrenched it. There were a couple moments where it looked like Izquierdo would escape, but Madadi was able to move with him and keep the choke in place.

What we learned about Yoislandy Izquierdo:

Izquierdo has potential. It looked like he just got too excited.

He was winning the fight, then got a little sloppy and paid the price for it.

He's a hot prospect coming out of Sweden.

His last three wins were over former UFC fighters, and now he has his first win in the UFC.
