ANALYSIS
Clearly King was looking to take this fight to the ground. Diekmann stopped his first takedown attempt of the fight, but he could not land effectively on the feet. In the second round, King scored an early takedown. From the top, he cut through Diekmann's guard and eventually took the back. He then locked in a tight rear-naked choke and finished the fight.
