Just when you thought this fight was going to be at the mercy of the judges’ hands, Gunnar Nelson needed all but a few seconds to latch onto Zak Cummings’ lapse in concentration for a neat submission victory.

UFC Fight Night 46 Results: Gunnar Nelson grabs 2nd round sub over Zak Cummings

The bout served as the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 46 in Dublin, Ireland.

Both fighters were at in, in the first frame and as with previous opponents, Cummings faced a difficult task of figuring out Nelson’s unorthodox stance and strikes. He troubled Nelson in the early goings of the second round though, but Nelson was never in any significant trouble.

The Icelandic fighter, however, turned it up a notch, connecting with successive straight rights that forced Cummings to back away. Nelson continued to push the pace and as he backed his opponent up against the fence, he dragged him onto the canvas before applying the finishing touch via a slick Rear-Naked Choke.

Nelson hence kept his unbeaten record in tact with the victory while Cummings saw a two-fight winning skid snapped.
