Submission win in Vegas opener
Leavitt defeated Matt Sayles via submission (triangle choke) at 2:05 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a stellar bounce-back effort from Leavitt on the heels of his unanimous decision defeat to Claudio Puelles this past June, the first of his professional career. Leavitt -- who is one of the more durable fighters on the entire UFC roster -- leaned on his grappling game throughout the fight. In a bout that barely lasted seven minutes, Leavitt attempted six takedowns, three different submission attempts and racked up 2:48 worth of control. It was a deep triangle choke midway through Round 2 which ultimately closed the show. Leavitt is just 26 years of age and has all of ten professional fights under his belt, so it's reasonable to expect improvement from him as 2022 quickly approaches.
