Christos Giagos chokes Sean Soriano unconscious at UFC 262, calls out Donald Cerrone

Watch Christos Giagos kick off UFC 262 with a nasty submission.

Just when it looked like [autotag]Sean Soriano[/autotag] had his number, [autotag]Christos Giagos[/autotag] made everyone forget about the opening eight minutes of their UFC 262 fight.

In the UFC 262 curtain-jerker, Giagos (19-8 MMA, 4-2 UFC) choked Soriano (14-7 MMA, 0-4 UFC) unconscious to win at the 3:59 mark of Round 2.

UFC 262 took place Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card streamed on ESPN+ pay-per-view after prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.

The opening round started out competitively but quickly shifted in the favor of Soriano. One of the lead striking coaches at world-renowned gym Sanford MMA, Soriano displayed crisp boxing, which he complemented with slick kicks. In Round 1, Soriano stunned Giagos on multiple occasions. His success continued into Round 2 until a wild scramble landed him on his back with Giagos in side control.

Within seconds, Giagos locked in a deep D’Arce choke, his legs wrapped around Soriano’s left one. After a brief struggle, Soriano went to sleep and the fight was waved off.

After the victory, Giagos called for a fight against former UFC lightweight title challenger [autotag]Donald Cerrone[/autotag] (36-16-1 MMA, 29-16-1 UFC), whom UFC president Dana White is allowing one more opportunity to compete.

“I just want to say really quick, I know ‘Cowboy’ is looking for his retirement fight. I would love nothing more. I’ve been a huge fan for a long time. I’d love nothing more than to fight ‘Cowboy’ for his retirement fight. If you want to dance, let’s play.”

Sean Soriano returns to UFC following six-year absence, faces Christos Giagos at UFC 262

More than six years after his first octagon run ended, Sean Soriano steps back into the octagon against Christos Giagos at UFC 262.

More than six years after his first octagon run ended, [autotag]Sean Soriano[/autotag] is back in the UFC.

MMA Junkie on Thursday learned from two people with knowledge of the booking that Soriano (14-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) has replaced [autotag]Joel Alvarez[/autotag] (18-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and will face [autotag]Christos Giagos[/autotag] (18-8 MMA, 4-4 UFC) in a lightweight matchup next week at UFC 262. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has not formally announced the contest.

Visa issues forced Alvarez out the original booking.

Soriano, 31, was undefeated heading into his first UFC run but then struggled in the octagon falling short against notables Tatsuya Kawajiri, Chas Skelly and Charles Rosa in featherweight contests. However, he currently stands at 5-1 in his past six appearances, fighting for CFFC, CES MMA and UAE Warriors en route back to the UFC.

Meanwhile, Giagos looks to build on the momentum of a December win against Carlton Minus in a 160-pound catchweight matchup. “The Spartan” currently stands at 3-1 in his past four octagon appearances, a run that also includes wins over Damir Hadzovic and Mizuto Hirota.

Featuring a lightweight title fight for the vacant UFC belt, UFC 262 takes place May 15 in Houston. The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
