UFC Fight Night 207 video: Benoit Saint-Denis mauls Niklas Stolze en route to choke

Benoit Saint-Denis showed what he’s capable of with a full training camp against Niklas Stolze UFC Fight Night 207.

After dropping his octagon debut on short notice earlier this year, Saint-Denis (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) got the opportunity to show what he’s all about in a welterweight bout against Stolze (12-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

He did just that, threatening with all types of submission before finally locking in the rear-naked choke and getting the tap at the 1:32 mark of Round 2.

Watch the highlights of Saint-Denis’ first UFC win below (via Twitter):

Following the win, Saint-Denis said he’s here to be a problem for everyone at 155 pounds, and he wants a quick turnaround at UFC’s July 23 event in London.

“Give me UFC London guys,” Saint-Denis said in his post-fight interview with Paul Felder. “Before Paris I get married one week before, so I can’t get drunk for my wedding. Give me UFC London and I will put so much pressure. I thank the UFC for the opportunity.”
