Gabriel Green Submits Matheus Camilo at UFC Vegas 106
UFC veteran Gabriel Green made a triumphant return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 106, securing a rear-naked choke submission victory over promotional newcomer Matheus Camilo at 3:43 of Round 2.
A Fight Filled with Adversity
Green (12-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) hadn’t fought in nearly two years, and early in the bout, it looked like ring rust might be a factor. Camilo (9-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) came out aggressive, hammering Green with punishing leg kicks and powerful right hands in a dominant first round.
Camilo continued his momentum in Round 2, securing a takedown and landing heavy ground-and-pound. At one point, he locked in a tight triangle choke, appearing close to finishing the fight.
Green’s Stunning Comeback
Despite the adversity, Green stayed composed. He escaped the triangle choke, scrambled to Camilo’s back, and locked in a body triangle before sinking in the fight-ending rear-naked choke.
Camilo, who entered the fight on a six-fight winning streak, had no choice but to tap, marking his first UFC loss.
What’s Next for Green?
With this victory, Green reasserts himself in the lightweight division. His ability to survive early danger and secure a finish proves he’s still a dangerous contender.
Will Green continue his resurgence, or was this just a one-off moment of brilliance? Fight fans will be watching closely.
