UFC Fight Night 243 video: Chris Duncan chokes out Bolaji Oki, tells referee to step in

PARIS –  Chris Duncan had to inform the referee that Bolaji Oki was out cold at UFC Fight Night 243.

Duncan (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) submitted Oki (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with a guillotine choke at the 3:34 mark of Round 1 in their lightweight bout on Saturday at Accor Arena.

As soon as Oki tried to take Duncan down, “The Problem” latched onto his neck. After cinching in a deep choke, Duncan let go to throw some punches, only to realize that Oki was out cold on top of him.
