UFC Vegas 12 video: Jason Witt opens up Cole Williams’ forehead, then submits him in second

A few extra pounds didn’t stop Jason Witt from ragdolling Cole Williams before a second-round submission at UFC Vegas 12.

Witt opened up Williams with an elbow in the first round and advanced quickly after a huge takedown to secure an arm-triangle choke. The official time of stoppage was 2:09 of Round 2 in the preliminary-card bout.

Check out the finish.

As he did in the first, Witt started off the second round with dominant grappling, scooping up Williams and carrying him across the octagon before a high-amplitude takedown.

It was the beginning of the end for Williams, who missed weight by 4.5 pounds and was fined a portion of his purse. Witt never let him get into the fight, taking the back after a quick takedown in the first and throwing elbows on top to open up a cut that quickly decorated the canvas with plasma.

Witt, nicknamed “The Vanilla Gorilla,” picked up his first UFC win after a quick TKO loss in his debut against Takashi Sato. Williams has now dropped two straight in the octagon.
