Video: Carlston Harris stuns Jeremiah Wells with anaconda choke at UFC on ESPN 50
If he’s not careful, Carlston Harris might have a nickname change to deal with one of these days. “Anaconda” seems appropriate.
A couple years back in his UFC debut, Harris (20-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) choked out Christian Aguilera with an anaconda choke. Saturday, his victim with the same reasonably rare finish was Jeremiah Wells (12-3-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
Harris had to mount a big comeback and almost certainly was on his way to a decision loss to Wells when he pulled off the stunner at the 1:50 mark of the third round at UFC on ESPN 50 in Nashville, Tenn.
Harris now has seven wins in his past eight fights, though the submission was his first since that aforementioned promotional debut. Wells lost for the first time in the UFC and was finished for the first time in his pro career.
