Hoang fakes with an overhand right and moves in to clinch with Xhekaj, pushing him back against the cage.

Hoang drags the fight down to the ground.

Xhekaj stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Hoang has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no!
