Finally turning the tide in his career, Jimmy Crute broke free from a frustrating five-fight winless streak at UFC 318 with a dominant first-round finish over Marcin Prachnio. But while the victory was impressive, it was Crute’s wild hairstyle and hilarious mix-up with comedian Theo Von that truly stole the spotlight and had fans buzzing.
‘The Brute’ is back in the win column for the first time since 2020, and he certainly ended his bad luck streak with style. In the very first round, Crute made a statement against Marcin Prachnio, weathering the early storm of unorthodox footwork and angles. Prachnio tried to make sure that he kept his distance and picked shots from the outside, but ‘The Brute’ stayed calm and found his perfect moment.
Witnessing an opening, Crute scored a takedown and landed on top of the Polish fighter. Although Prachnio managed to kick him off and get back up, Crute’s grappling edge quickly resurfaced. A brief back-and-forth later, Crute capitalized on the opening and snatched Prachnio’s arm, locking a slick armbar to secure a submission victory in the very first round, finally breaking his winless streak at UFC 318.
After the victory, Crute walked out of the cage to celebrate his victory with his mullet twin, Theo Von, who was cage side.
