In a dominant performance, Derek Brunson scored his fifth straight win at UFC Vegas 36. After winning two rounds on the ground with his superior wrestling, Brunson finally managed to catch Darren Till with a rear-naked choke in the third for a submission win. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout.
If Brunson doesn’t tire, I think he takes this one. Much improved over the years and past few fights. He uses his wrestling well and inflicts good damage on top or gets good control time. But sometimes that grappling fatigues him #UFCVegas36

That wasn’t wise. He should have ditched the knee and resorted to takedown defense first. Beautiful shot from Brunson! #UFCVegas36

@darrentill2 have great strike but his ground game and takedowns defense are awful. With this game he can’t beat a top 5 on this division #ufcfightnight @ufc

While a great W, I didn’t see anything in that performance that showed Brunson can beat Adesanya… but who knows #UFCVegas36

Till’s kickboxing is good his bjj is good his wrestling is average and his scrambling is not very good. That space he created in that final takedown was his opportunity to get off his back, he got mounted because he was doing bjj in a wrestling moment.
