UFC Fight Night 237 video: Manuel Torres squeezes Chris Duncan into submission

Manuel Torres lived out a dream Saturday when he made quick work of Chris Duncan in front of his home country’s crowd.

The lightweight bout kicked off the UFC Fight Night 237 main card and sent the Mexico City Arena faithful into a frenzy when Torres (14-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) submitted Duncan (11-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke at the 1:46 mark of the opening round.

Duncan clipped Torres early and put him on his back foot, but the Mexican fighter weathered the storm and grabbed a hold. From there, he worked his way to the back and ended the fight.

The win was Torres’ sixth finish in a row. After the fight, Torres called for a top-20 opponent.

Scotland’s Duncan loses for the first time in the UFC.
