Claudio Puelles had a fantastic outing at UFC Fight Night: Lemos vs. Andrade. 'El Nino' took on MMA veteran Clay Guida in a lightweight bout in the fight card's co-main event.
The 26-year-old made quick work of his opponent and submitted Guida with a kneebar submission in the very first round. What made the victory even more impressive was that it was Puelles' third win via kneebar in the UFC. The Peruvian has only had six fights in the promotion.
Puelles was asked about this interesting statistic in the post-fight octagon interview by Daniel Cormier. 'El Nino' responded by saying that he does not even practice the kneebar submission during practice sessions.
"Man listen, I don't practice this at the gym. I just do it. I just do it because I know how to hit it. I try to keep it, like, mystic, you know. Like... I don't wanna hit it every day, [just] every once in a while and that once in a while, it's in the fights," said Claudio Puelles.

"I do wanna call out Twitter for not giving me my verification check yet. So, come on Twitter, come on. And [last], but not least, come on UFC Espanol, they gotta give me that spot in the commentary, man, come on. I'm good looking. I'm well spoken, speak English, Spanish [and] I can fight. Come on, let's go," the Peruvian said.
