Joe Pyfer continues to be a force in the UFC middleweight division.
A 27-year-old fast-rising prospect, Pyfer put Abdul Razak Alhassan to sleep with a second-round arm-triangle choke in a blistering performance Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 80. The win preserved Pyfer's perfect 3-0 octagon record and propelled him further up the ranks as one of the most intriguing young talents at 185 pounds.

I knew that was a tap, but that is not how you tap! #UFCVegas80

There's maybe 5 "main" submissions that people do in MMA. But seeing people have no clue on how to defend, at all, at this stage of the game is still mind-blowing to me. #UFCVegas80
