LAS VEGAS — Cody Brundage overcame a striking onslaught to submit Dalcha Lungiambula in a rollercoaster slobberknocker Saturday.

It all went down during the preliminary section of the 14-bout UFC Fight Night card that took place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas.

Lungiambula, who has a hulking physique, landed 50 of his 83 strike attempts for an accuracy rate of 60%. Of those shots, 29 were deemed significant according to official UFC statistics.

He fired leg kicks, punches, and even tried to counter a Brundage takedown with a guillotine submission attempt.

Moments later, Lungiambula had Brundage hurt as he dispatched heavier blows to try and close the show.

But Brundage stayed strong, overcame the offensive, and turned the fight on its head when he locked in the fight-ending maneuver little more than a minute before the bell.

When the technique was tight, it was not long before Lungiambula tapped.

Brundage had won a spectacular comeback and he unleashed his emotions by celebrating raucously, and getting his face into the camera lens that was closest to him.

Watch the submission win right here:

Brundage threw very few shots, particularly compared to Lungiambula's activity, as he landed four from eight.

But, ultimately, only one technique mattered — that guillotine choke.

With victory, Brundage advanced his pro MMA record to seven wins (three knockouts, three submissions, and one decision) against two losses.

The American's first-round win over Lungiambula was the third UFC bout of the day.

Earlier, a veteran UFC fighter called Guido Cannetti who is nicknamed 'Ninja,' obliterated his opponent with a merciless barrage of strikes. Each shot that landed, and there were many, sounded brutal.

Azamat Murzakanov made his UFC debut one to remember as he hurt Tafon Nchukwi with a flying knee, before shoving him for good measure, in a last-gasp and must-see win that kicked off the show.

A light heavyweight match between Thiago Santos and Magomed Ankalaev topped the UFC Fight Night event, which was broadcast in its entirety on ESPN+.
