UFC on ESPN 70 video: Jake Matthews taps Chidi Njokuani in 69 seconds
Jake Matthews wowed Nashville, Tenn., with a quick submission of Chidi Njokuani. The welterweight bout took place on the prelims of UFC on ESPN 70 at Bridgestone Arena, and was filled with action for as long as it lasted. Matthews (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) found the neck of Njokuani (25-11 MMA, 5-4 UFC) and cranked until the tap came at 1:09 of Round 1. Njokuani came out firing a series of hard kicks, but Matthews put a stop to it by getting the fight to the ground. He then quickly took the back and slapped on a rear-naked choke. Njokuani stood up, and nearly shook Matthews off, but the hold remained tight enough to force the tap. Check out video of the finish below (via X): Matthews, 30, called out Gilbert Burns during his post-fight interview. "The Celtic Kid" is now on a three-fight winning streak, coming into this fight with back-to-back unanimous decision wins over Phil Rowe and Francisco Prado. Up-to-the-minute UFC on ESPN 70 results

Lewis boasts a career record of 28-12-0 and owns the record for most career knockout wins in UFC history. Teixeira, meanwhile, enters Saturday night's bout against Lewis with an undefeated record for his career, sitting at 8-0-0. Most recently, the 25-year-old Brazilian defeated Justin Tafa in February of this year via TKO (knee to the body and elbow), an impressive victory for Teixeira in a result that earned him a Performance of the Night bonus. Tonight's Fight Night will be a treat for UFC fans, as other well-known fighters such as Wonderboy Stephen Thompson and Calvin Kattar will also be throwing down, both against younger fighters with promising futures. Will Teixeira be able to keep his undefeated streak going against a fighter as dangerous as Lewis? Or will Lewis continue to add to his record of most career knockout wins in UFC history?
