LAS VEGAS — A 26-year-old fighter stunned the MMA world when he finished a fight with a one-armed guillotine choke from bottom guard Saturday during the UFC's 13-bout fight card that took place at the Apex in Las Vegas.

Meet Charles Jourdain — a Canadian combatant who only won the decision of his career in his last match, when he outpointed Andre Ewell during a Fight Night event in December 2021.

Speaking to Insider and other reporters at UFC HQ earlier this week, Jourdain said he regards that decision as a near finish as he could tell he had wrecked Ewell's world.

He told us that he was desperate to win by finish this weekend, and promised to bring a violent war to the Octagon.

Though Jourdain didn't get involved in a battle against Lando Vannata, he did get the finish he so desperately craved — and he did so in style as the submission was a unique one.

It all began after a grappling exchange in which Jourdain chased the guillotine and tightened the chokehold with one arm, locking it in until Vannata tapped.

It was a thing of beauty — and you can watch it right here:

"I'm a black belt, people seem to forget, but it was a good reminder today," said Jourdain at the UFC event Insider attended.

He then issued a challenge to fellow featherweight Edson Barboza, a Brazilian veteran of fighting with 33 MMA matches under his belt, with many kickboxing bouts on his record, too.

Jourdain then said he "wants to die" in the Octagon. He added: "Don't worry Edson, I won't try to take you down. It'll be mano-a-mano until either you die or I die."

With victory, Jourdain advanced his pro MMA record to 13 wins (eight knockouts, four submissions, and one decision) against four losses.

Elsewhere on the card, MMA fighter Mike Jackson won a match by DQ after an eye gouge. He also got kicked in the crotch.

Tyson Pedro, meanwhile, iced Ike Villanuev with heavy shots in a first-round drubbing.

Later, Aoriqileng gave a masterclass in how to rebound from defeat as he blasted past Cameron Else.

Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade fought in a unique, all-Brazilian women's strawweight fight at the top of the card.
