UFC 330 video: Charles Johnson hits Scottish twister on Eduardo Chapolin

Philadelphia witnessed a thrilling display of mixed martial arts prowess at the UFC 330 event on Saturday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. In a pivotal flyweight division bout, Charles Johnson delivered a masterful performance in the third round with a decisive Scottish twister submission, vanquishing challenger Eduardo Chapolin. The stoppage occurred at the 1:36 mark of the third round, showcasing Johnson's skill and precision.

Although Johnson emerged victorious, Chapolin (15-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), a UFC newcomer, proved to be a formidable opponent, and his presence will undoubtedly attract attention when he reenters the octagon with a full training regimen. Chapolin's early momentum was disrupted by an illegal knee strike, resulting in a point deduction from referee Jason Herzog.

The second round witnessed a highly competitive exchange, with both combatants demonstrating the elite speed and technical acumen that define the UFC's lightest male division. Following the fight, Johnson paid tribute to his late teammate Allan Nascimento, who passed away due to a heart attack earlier in August. Johnson, 35, secured a 3-2 record in his most recent five bouts and bounced back from a recent submission loss to Asu Almabayev.

Brazil's Chapolin, 30, is a seasoned veteran who made his debut for the Ultimate Fighting Championship on short notice, less than three days prior to the weigh-ins. He previously held the LFA flyweight championship title when he signed with UFC. Additional highlights from UFC 330 include: Donte Johnson defeated Eric McConico via knockout in the first round, Tresean Gore secured a unanimous decision victory over Vicente Luque, and Lucas Fernando triumphed over Rafael Tobias via TKO (knee, punches) in the third round.

Neil Magny outlasted Ramiz Brahimaj via TKO (strikes) in the second round, while Jeremiah Wells executed a technical submission (guillotine choke) to defeat Myktybek Orolbai in the third round.
