Mansur Abdul-Malik left nothing to the imagination earlier tonight (Sat., Dec. 6, 2025) at UFC 323 LIVE on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the former Contender Series standout steamrolled middleweight Antonio Trocoli with a stunning 69-second submission (standing guillotine choke).
As the biggest betting favorite on the card, it was important for Abdul-Malik to show up and deliver a statement performance to close out 2025. The undefeated middleweight did just that as it took him just over a minute to take Trocoli down and then choke him out on the feet after he got up. Trocoli wasn’t expected to last long, but it was still an impressive finish by Abdul-Malik.
Check out the video highlights below:
Abdul-Malik, 28, is now 3-0 (1 NC) since joining the UFC roster back in late 2024. The former Contender Series winner has looked better in each and every one of his fights, but there’s still room for growth. It will be interesting to see who UFC matchmakers book for Abdul-Malik next, but there should be no more “safe” fights for the rising prospect.
