UFC Seattle full fight: Joe Pyfer submits Abus Magomedov in comeback
Watch Joe Pyfer submit Abus Magomedov in a comeback win ahead of his return at Saturday's UFC Seattle.
Joe Pyfer is inching closer to UFC title contention. In his latest step to the UFC middleweight title, Pyfer defeated veteran Abus Magomedov back at UFC 320 in October. After a shaky start where he had to survive a few submission attacks, Pyfer turned the tables on Magomedov in the second round.
He dropped Magomedov, mounted him, and then took his back to sink in a rear-naked choke. It was an impressive win that put Pyfer at 3-0 since suffering his first UFC defeat in 2024. You can watch Pyfer's submission win in the video above.
Pyfer (15-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) returns to the cage this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 271 ( Paramount+ ), which takes place at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. He takes on former UFC champion Israel Adesanya (24-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in a five-round main event.
