Sam Creasey left no doubt about who’s the best flyweight in Cage Warriors.
In the promotion’s tournament final, Creasey and Luke Shanks were involved in an entertaining scrap Saturday at Cage Warriors 129 from York Hall in London. Both men found success landing shots through two rounds and into the third.
Then Shanks decided to shoot for a takedown, which turned out to be his downfall as Creasey immediately transitioned into a guillotine choke. But it wasn’t a normal guillotine, with Creasey leaving his left elbow high to prevent Shanks from escaping.
Creasey’s slick move worked to perfection and left Shanks no choice but to tap out at the 3:38 mark of Round 3. Take a look at the finish below:
