SUG 23 Results and Highlights: Mason Fowler Retains Title Against Kyle Chambers
On Sunday, Submission Underground (SUG) returned to action with SUG 23: Mason Fowler vs. Kyle Chambers. In the main event, Mason Fowler submitted Kyle Chambers to retain his SUG absolute championship. Lower on the card, long-time UFC veteran Carlos Condit picked up a quick heel hook submission over fellow UFC veteran Jake Ellenberger, and the SUG tag team title changed hands.
Fowler and Chambers exchanged wrestling techniques a bit on the feet before Fowler eventually secured a double leg slam that landed him in side control. From there, Fowler patiently moved to Chambers’ back, and once on the back, Fowler attacked a rear-naked choke. And even though Fowler couldn’t get his arm cleanly under Chambers’ chin, he squeezed nonetheless to earn the tap with less than a minute remaining in regulation.
“I got into that flow state, and I was being really aggressive,” Fowler said following the match. “I’m tired of people talking crap and saying I play smart and stall.”
With the win, Fowler has now successfully defended his title seven times.
