Urbina finishes Garcia via guillotine choke

First rule of MMA: Protect ya neck.
Well, it may not be the first rule of MMA, but it’s a rule Edgar Garcia should have followed.
Garcia, driving for a takedown along the fence late in the first round of the opening fight of the UFC 180 main card, left his neck hanging out, and Hector Urbina quickly snatched a fight-ending guillotine choke.
The two men engaged in a few slick grappling exchanges, with Garcia briefly taking Urbina's back, and Urbina failing to snake in an anaconda choke.
The victory, the first of Urbina's UFC career, improved his record to 17-8-1.
