Remember last year at UFC 299 when Dustin Poirier’s coach told him, “No more guillotines!” Despite the advice, Poirier didn’t hesitate, and within 30 seconds, he attempted another guillotine choke. His actions spoke louder than words, with Poirier declaring, “I will never stop.”Now, the guillotine submission, once a talking point, has reached its full potential. It became a major highlight at UFC London, headlined by Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady. The main card had already made waves, with one featherweight fight wrapped up. But the spotlight was on the lightweight bout between Scottish phenom Chris Duncan and Jordan Vucenic.
It was Duncan’s night, as he locked in a guillotine choke to finish his opponent. The submission reverberated from the O2 Arena in London all the way to Louisiana, where Dustin Poirier, watching the event live, couldn’t resist praising the rising star. Poirier took to X to write, “Don’t be silly!!! Congratulations!” The bond between Poirier and the guillotine choke is well known in MMA circles, as Poirier has never shied away from attempting it, even though he’s yet to secure a submission with it. During the event, Duncan also requested a bonus from Dana White.
Don’t be silly!!! Congratulations @theproblem155
