The win was yet another first-round finish for Krylov (19-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC). In fact, every victory in the Ukranian’s career has come in the opening frame.

Krylov survived the scare and made it clear after the fight that he had no intention to submit, no matter how deep the choke. “I wouldn’t tap,” Krylov told MMAjunkie following his victory.
