Casey Kenney picked up his first submission win in the UFC.
The bantamweight fighter submitted veteran Louis Smolka on the preliminary card of UFC on ESPN 9, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streamed on ESPN+.
Kenney (15-3-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) wobbled Smolka early in the first round and then sunk in a one-arm guillotine choke to finish the bout. The official stoppage came at the 3:03 mark of Round 1.
With the result, Kenney bounced back from a loss to Merab Dvalishvili in his most recent outing. He’s now 7-1 in his past eight fights.
