UFC Fight Night 247 video: Da'Mon Blackshear wobbles, taps Cody Stamann in first

Da'Mon Blackshear flexed his submission skills again in a first-round finish at UFC Fight Night 247.

Blackshear (15-7-1 MMA, 3-3-1 UFC) entered the preliminary bantamweight contest against Cody Stamann in need of a big win, as he lost his previous two fights. At 4:19 of Round 1, "Da Monster" secured a rear-naked choke submission of Stamann (21-8-1 MMA, 7-7-1 UFC).

After a furious combination of punches  sparked by an accurate flying knee to the chin, a rocked Stamann attempted to grab a hold of Blackshear. He was unsuccessful though, as Blackshear sprawled, scrambled, and began working for submission finishes on the ground.

He found Stamann's back and locked in a rear-naked choke to get the tap in the final minute of the opening round.

With the win, Blackshear snaps a two-fight skid while recording his 10th career submission. On the other side, Stamann suffers his third consecutive loss and is now .500 in the UFC.
