Only one man could get their first octagon win in the battle of newcomers between Chris Padilla and James Llontop on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 55 , and it was the former who got the job done. Padilla (14-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) showed off some slick ground skills when, during a scramble on the mat in the lightweight, he took the back of Llontop (14-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and locked in a rear-naked choke for the tap at the 4:33 mark of Round 1 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “Taco” entered the event tied as the biggest betting underdog, but the fight didn’t look that way as he got the job done.
