RFA 31 video highlights: Matt Lopez will straight up crank your face

Sure, a pair of championship fights got the most attention heading into Friday’s RFA 31 event, but Matt Lopez (7-0) provided an awfully memorable moment with a rarely seen but painful-looking submission over Justin Linn (7-2).

Check out the video highlights of the six-fight main card, which took place at Sin City’s Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and aired on AXS TV.

In addition to Lopez’s unique finish, check out RFA welterweight champ Gilbert Smith (12-4) scoring a bizarre finish of Bristol Marunde (16-10) in the evening’s headlining bout, as well as Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger (6-1) picking up RFA’s vacant strawweight title with an upset win over Zoila Frausto (12-5).
