This morning (Sat. September 15, 2018) the UFC made its debut in Moscow, Russia.
In the main event, Aleksei Oleinik pulled off an amazing first-round submission victory over fellow UFC veteran Mark Hunt. The pair had a nice little slugfest early on, but once Oleinik got the action to the ground, it was all over for “The Super Samoan.”

And Hunto is done. Big submission win for Oleinik in the 1st with the RNC.

Damnnn mannnng! That was a fast ass tap. I was hoping to see the 2nd RD and a vintage walkoff KO! #UFCMoscow

Aleksei Oleinik somehow survives a walkoff Mark Hunt right hand, and submits him moments later with a rear-naked in the first. Russian crowd goes nuts. Big win for the 41-year-old.
