VIDEO: Ortega submits Brandao with slick triangle choke

It took a little while, but Brian Ortega eventually dragged Diego Brandao into deep waters.

Likely down 20-18 on the judges' scorecards after being soundly out-struck for 10 minutes, a relaxed Ortega kicked it into high gear when it mattered, submitting Brandao via triangle choke at 1:37 of the third frame.

The finishing sequence was a thing of violent beauty, as Ortega transitioned from an anaconda choke, to a guillotine choke, and finally to a fight-ending triangle choke.

That's some terrifying, venomous grappling from "T-City," a legit featherweight prospect who now has three triangle choke finishes in his burgeoning MMA career.
