Glismann shared the cage with Melvin van Suijdam. The action emanated from The O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic. While Oktagon 43 featured a night packed with action, it was Glismann who stole the show. He secured a submission victory late in the first round, and it may just be an all-time great finish in MMA history.

Louis Glismann’s Masterpiece

That’s because Glismann secured the tap with a rare inverted omoplata. It’s a sight to behold, so let’s just watch the video together.

Simply outstanding.

With the win over van Suijdam, “Spartacus” has improved his pro MMA record to 11-2, per Tapology. Glismann now advances in the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament. Glismann is hoping he can make it to the finals and win it all, but for now, he’ll relish in securing what may be the “Submission of the Year.”
