LAS VEGAS – Jean Matsumoto had to fend off endless takedown attempts from Dan Argueta at UFC Fight Night 240 before finally using one to his advantage to end the fight. Highly touted bantamweight prospect Matsumoto (15-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) found himself on bottom multiple times from Argueta (9-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) over the course of nearly two full rounds. He then applied a tight arm-in guillotine choke with just one second left and forced the tap at the 4:59 mark of Round 2 at the UFC Apex. The guillotine has led Matsumoto to multiple previous wins in his career, and it happened again in the biggest spot of his career. Check out the replay of the submission below (via X ): COMPLETED GUILLOTINE WITH TWO SECONDS LEFT @JeMatsumotoUFC with an impressive finish in his UFC debut! #UFCVegas90 pic.twitter.com/2TBsVoqexf — UFC (@ufc) April 6, 2024 Matsuomoto was nothing short of thrilled after getting his hand raised and extending his unbeaten record.
