3 Best Fights of Aleksei Oleinik

#2 Oleinik vs. Pesta:

After the Rosholt fight, Oleinik wouldn’t make a return until July 2016, a defeat against Daniel Omeilanczuk. He then returned in some style when he faced Viktor Pesta on January 15th, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 103.

Another UFC performance of the night bonus would make its way to Oleinik after his 1st round Ezekiel choke submission win over Pesta. The Ezekiel choke is uncommon as it is, however, this one was executed while Oleinik was on the bottom in Pesta’s full mount, it is rarely ever seen in this position without the use of a gi.

This was voted the number one best submission of the year for 2017.
