He may not be all too hyped, but Claudio Silva picked up 13 pro MMA wins in a row when he secured a verbal submission of Danny Roberts on the main card of today’s (Sat., March 16, 2019) UFC on ESPN+ 5 from the O2 Arena in London, England.

It was a good fight where both men had their moments. Roberts found some good spots to unleash his strikes on the feet:

However, Silva walked through them to secure multiple takedowns. Roberts, in turn, reversed them, but it proved his undoing. Silva locked on a quick armbar in the third round. When he did, Roberts attempted to slam him on his head. Silva rolled through it and held the arm tight, eventually earning an amazing win by verbal submission.
