MMA Junkie's Submission of the Month for October: Newcomer scores slick finish

October delivered a string of standout submission victories in the UFC, with one fighter’s performance rising above the rest. Brendson Ribeiro, seeking to break a four-fight losing streak, turned the tables on Felipe Franco at UFC Fight Night 290 by landing a guillotine choke just 1 minute and 49 seconds into their light heavyweight bout.

Ribeiro, who had also missed weight for the fight, secured a hard-earned win in a must-win scenario, showcasing resilience under pressure. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen closed out UFC Fight Night 290 with a dominant rear-naked choke finish over Christian Leroy Duncan in their middleweight main event, reinforcing his title aspirations with a late-round submission at the 2:02 mark of the final round.

The month also saw Chelsea Chandler outmaneuver Melissa Croden with a kimura submission in the opening round of their bantamweight clash at UFC Fight Night 291, overcoming significant underdog odds to claim the victory. Abus Magomedov added to the submission highlights by knocking out Cam Rowston with a guillotine choke at UFC 333, flexing his grappling prowess in a display reminiscent of UFC legend Nate Diaz.
