Christensen lost to Henrique Da Silva via submission (armbar) at 4:43 of round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Portland, Ore.
ANALYSIS
Christensen came into the UFC riding a five-fight winning streak. That came to an end right here. He was able to participate in a back-and-forth firefight, but he was not able to catch a win. Early in the fight, he was getting beaten up on the feet by Da Silva. In the second round, Christensen scored a knockdown, but he ended up getting swept and submitted. He will need to improve to keep his spot in the UFC.
