Lightweight contender Olivier Aubin-Mercier looked terrific in dominating Thibault Gouti before finishing him in the third.
Aubin-Mercier scored plenty of takedowns in the tussle and controlled the pace but it was his submission prowess that paved the way toward victory in the final frame. The Quebec fighter threatened with a rear-naked choke for a almost two minutes before he duped Gouti into dropping his guard and when he did, Aubin-Mercier ended the fight with a textbook rear-naked choke, forcing the tap as soon as it was applied. The official time of the submission was 2:28 of the stanza.
