#3 Oleinik vs. Albini:
Oleinik would fight a further two times, a win against Travis Browne and a defeat against Curtis Blaydes, before he took on Junior Albini on May 12th, 2018, at UFC 224.
This was another 1st round victory and another Ezekiel choke submission, this again earned him the performance of the night. This submission has been voted 3rd best so far of 2018. So far the only person with two Ezekiel chokes in the UFC.
What made it more impressive was that Albini had caught Oleinik early in the 1st round and cut him then cut the other side of his face a minute or so later, with blood pouring down his face Oleinik somehow managed to pull the choke off. Before Oleinik’s arrival in the UFC, the Ezekiel choke had never been used to finish a fight before, Oleinik now has two. He has recorded eleven Ezekiel choke wins in his entire career.
Can the 41-year-old pull off another Ezekiel choke against the formidable Mark Hunt? We will have to tune into UFC Fight Night 136 to find out.
