Darrius Flowers slammed his way to success in the fifth week of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 6, drawing a tap from Amiran Gogoladze just 73 seconds into the fight.

Gogoladze tried an inverted triangle, but he didn’t know how to submit. This allowed Flowers to correct himself. Gogoladze was upside-down when he grabbed Flowers and found himself driving into the canvas. Gogoladze looked at his corner, obviously in pain, and tapped out shortly afterward. The Georgia native winced in pain, clutching his shoulder, and quickly exited the cage.

Check out the video above, and below is another angle of the slam.

Flowers was saved by the angle of his slam. Spiking directly on the head is illegal per the Unified MMA Rules, but Gogoladze’s torso was angled as it hit the canvas, making his shoulders and neck the primary recipients of the impact.

He won his fourth consecutive win, which is a strong argument for his UFC contract. He now stands at 12-5-1, while Gogoladze, a teammate of Merab Dvalishvili, sees a three-fight winning streak snapped.
