Thomas Gantt Submits Drakkar Klose at 2:46 of Round 3 With Inverted Triangle Choke

Q: Who will secure the women's flyweight title shot in the highly anticipated eliminator showdown between Manon Fiorot and Alexa Grasso?

It had not been decided in the available live coverage. What is clear is that Manon Fiorot vs. Alexa Grasso was officially booked as a women’s flyweight title eliminator at Noche UFC, with the winner set to earn the next shot at the 125-pound belt. Multiple pre-fight reports, including UFC broadcaster Dan Hellie’s weigh-in-show announcement and comments from Fiorot herself, indicated that the victor would face the winner of the vacant-title fight between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong at UFC 332. Based on the reporting available before and during the event, Fiorot entered as the betting favorite and was widely picked by analysts to win a decision. She came in after rebounding from her loss to Valentina Shevchenko with a TKO of Jasmine Jasudavicius, while Grasso, the former champion, was also coming off a strong knockout win over Maycee Barber. So the title shot was on the line for the winner, but the story excerpt provided does not include the final result of Fiorot vs. Grasso. If you want, I can help track down the official result once it becomes available.

Thomas Gantt stayed unbeaten at 13-0 by forcing Drakkar Klose to tap to an inverted triangle choke at 2:46 of the third round in their lightweight bout at UFC Noche 4.
Gantt had already built a clear lead through two rounds, repeatedly driving Klose into the clinch, landing knees and elbows, and controlling position well enough to sweep the opening frames on all three scorecards.
The finish came after Gantt turned a scramble into top control, advanced from side control to the back and full mount, then locked up the choke when Klose briefly scrambled on top.
The result marked Gantt's second UFC win and one of the card's notable early finishes, alongside Sean King's 36-second slam knockout and Yousri Belgaroui's first-round TKO.
