BALTIMORE – Joseph Benavidez had Timothy Elliott so thoroughly trapped in a guillotine choke that he couldn’t even get a hand free to tap with. With Benavidez on top of him and his arms constricted by Benavidez’s legs, Elliot had to submit with his feet, flailing them on the mat until referee Mario Yamasaki called a stop to the bout at 4:08 of Round 1. The flyweight preliminary-card bout took place at today’s UFC 172 event at Maryland’s Baltimore Arena. It aired on FOX Sports 1 prior to the pay-per-view main card. Elliott got off to a fast start in this one, and had Benavidez in some trouble early on.
