UFC 216 was quite eventful as Mighty Mouse got his second armbar and Tony El Cucuy Ferguson got to his interim title. Here’s how the pros reacted to Mighty Mouse’s awesome armbar off of a suplex throw:
Crazy way to finish a fight and to do it at the same time as breaking the record. Unbelievable. Huge congrats to DJ !
