UFC Shanghai video: Rei Tsuruya dominates Kevin Borjas for submission

Rei Tsuruya looked like the biggest favorite on the UFC Shanghai card against Kevin Borjas.

In a dominant performance at UFC Fight Night 286, Rei Tsuruya showcased his skill by submitting Kevin Borjas in the first round of their flyweight bout. The 24-year-old Japanese fighter immediately took the fight to the ground, controlling Borjas and forcing him into the back. Tsuruya capitalized on this position, applying a rear-naked choke that ended after just 4 minutes and 14 seconds of the first round.

This marked a significant comeback for Tsuruya, who had lost his previous fight to the current UFC flyweight champion, Joshua Van.
