Jeremiah Wells put Myktybek Orolbai to sleep at UFC 330
Philadelphia witnessed one of the most dramatic comebacks of 2026 at UFC 330 as Jeremiah Wells staged a wild third-round submission against top welterweight prospect Myktybek Orolbai. Despite Orolbai holding the lead on the scorecards, Wells continued to pose a threat with his powerful punching and relentless ground pressure. The fight saw Orolbai consistently taking Wells down, but Wells kept his hands moving, connecting with hard punches.
In the final round, Orolbai attempted another takedown, giving Wells the perfect opportunity to execute a flawless ninja choke submission. Orolbai went limp shortly after, and the referee stopped the contest at the 1:24 mark of the period. Wells, 39 and with a record of 14-4-1, hinted at retiring in his hometown and suggested a top 15 opponent could keep him in the ring.
Orolbai, meanwhile, suffered his first loss since moving up to the 170-pound division, with a record of 16-3-1.
