UFC Vegas 53 video: Francisco Figueiredo quickly taps Daniel Da Silva with slick kneebar

Francisco Figueiredo needed just over a minute to get his first UFC finish.

The brother of current UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo took on fellow Brazilian Daniel Da Silva in a 125-pound preliminary bout at Saturday’s UFC Vegas 53 event. Figueiredo had his back on early and Da Silva, who was trying to improve his position with the UFC, switched to a kneebar. Da Silva was tapped in a matter of seconds. The stoppage took place 1:18 into the bout.

Figueiredo won his eighth submission victory in his career and first since almost six years. “Sniper” improved to 2-1 inside the octagon and bounced back from a unanimous decision loss to Malcolm Gordon in his prior appearance at UFC Vegas 31 this past July. Figueiredo won his UFC debut by winning a decision over Jerome Rivera.

Da Silva will have to wait for another chance to pick up his first UFC win after getting stopped by Jeff Molina in his promotional debut at UFC Vegas 41 this past October.
