Diego Brandao scored a flashy submission win in his first fight after being released by the UFC, as he tapped Murad Machaev out with a helicopter armbar in the first round of their fight at Eurasia Fight Nights 58, in Makhachkala, Dagestan.

Being cut from the UFC did not stop Brandao from wearing his UFC Reebok trunks, however.
