UFC on ABC 3 results: Bill Algeo survives insane triangle choke before Herbert Burns fades in bizarre finish

Bill Algeo outlasted Herbert Burns after surviving a crazy submission attack.

[autotag]Bill Algeo[/autotag]’s performance Saturday was as resilient as they come.

The UFC featherweight endured a whole lot of danger in his UFC on ABC 3 matchup with [autotag]Herbert Burns[/autotag] before Burns was forced to quit in their preliminary card matchup.

Algeo (16-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) officially scored a TKO over Burns (11-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC), putting him away at the 1:50 mark of Round 2, but there was more to it.

Early in the first round, Burns had Algeo in a tight triangle choke. While looking to end the fight with a submission, Burns was also landing heavy elbows from the position. Algeo managed to stay composed and eventually set himself free after a couple of minutes.

From that point on, it was all Algeo, as he poured the pressure on a fading Burns. The fight ended in Bizarre fashion, with Burns not answering the referee’s call to continue on.

It’s unclear what led to Burns being unable to continue, but he was carried out of the octagon by his brother and fellow UFC fighter, Gilbert Burns.
