In a fight that likely surprised no one, Stefan Struve submitted Lavar Johnson on Saturday night to kick off the pay-per-view card at UFC 146.
Johnson - who fought earlier this month at UFC on Fox 3, knocking out Pat Barry - took this bout on just eight days notice, and he tried to make it his fight early. He pressed Struve to the cage and tried to set up his heavy handed attack, but Struve wouldn't let that happen.
Instead, Struve pulled guard against the cage, and quickly set up a tight armbar. Johnson had little defense for the hold, and tapped almost immediately. Of Johnson's six career losses, five of them have come by submission.
The 24-year-old Struve picked up his fifth win in his last six fights, and is now 8-3 in 11 appearances in the UFC.
