Devin Clark figured he could rush in on Jan Blachowicz to open the second round, because he came out of the first with Blachowicz reeling.
That, however, turned out to be a huge mistake.
Clark (8-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) charged forward and landed an overhand right as the two men pressed against the cage. But he left his neck exposed, and Blachowicz (20-7 MMA, 3-4 UFC) pounced to score an incredible submission win while standing at UFC Fight Night 118.

Officially, the method of Blachowicz’s victory was announced as a standing rear-naked choke, but it was technically a *bulldog* choke, which is rare in MMA.
It was awesome and had folks geeking out on Twitter:
