Ramiz Brahimaj Silences Austin Vanderford with Ruthless
Brahimaj’s Submission Game Strikes Again in Las Vegas
Ramiz Brahimaj delivered a brutal reminder of his finishing instincts at UFC 320, submitting Austin Vanderford with a guillotine choke in Round 2. The middleweight clash ended at 3:02 of the second frame, as Brahimaj capitalized on a sloppy takedown attempt and locked in the choke with surgical precision.
According to UFC.com, Brahimaj stayed composed through Vanderford’s early pressure, then turned the tide with a slick reversal and immediate submission setup. The tap came quickly, and the crowd erupted as Brahimaj added another finish to his growing highlight reel.
“I don’t need three rounds. I just need one mistake,” Brahimaj said post-fight.
Vanderford’s Return Ends in Disaster
Austin Vanderford entered UFC 320 looking to rebound from back-to-back losses, but his comeback was short-lived.

Brahimaj snatched the guillotine, dropped to guard, and forced the tap in seconds.
The loss marks Vanderford’s third straight defeat and raises serious questions about his future in the UFC. Once considered a rising contender, he now faces a steep climb back to relevance.
Brahimaj’s Momentum Surges
With this win, Ramiz Brahimaj improves to 11-5 and continues to build a reputation as one of the most dangerous submission artists in the division. His guillotine choke has become a signature weapon, and his ability to finish fights from seemingly neutral positions makes him a nightmare for wrestlers and pressure fighters alike.
