Julian Erosa picked up one of the best wins of his UFC career on Saturday when he tapped out Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 191.
After an entertaining back-and-forth fight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Erosa (25-9 MMA, 4-5 UFC) found a way to lock in a D’Arce choke on Jourdain (11-4-1 MMA, 2-3-1 UFC) late in the final round of the 150-pound catchweight fight.
Jourdain was forced to tap at the 2:56 mark of Round 3, giving Erosa the win on short notice. Check out the replay of the finish below (via Twitter):

Although Erosa has had his ups and downs inside the octagon, he continues to prove to be a durable and skilled talent. He was knocked down by Jourdain in the second round, only to come back in the third and finish the fight.
“Jourdain’s a strong striker and I wanted to get the fight to the ground earlier,” Erosa said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “My D’Arce is unstoppable. … I’m super happy with it.”
