Kevin Jousset impressed in his promotional debut Saturday in his adopted home country of Australia.
In the UFC 293 preliminary card opener, Jousset (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) diced up former Bellator fighter Kiefer Crosbie (10-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) before he looked in a rear-naked choke submission at 4:49 of Round 1.
The fight was a striking battle until it hit the canvas, at which point the France-born, City Kickboxing product got a tap from Ireland’s Crosbie in a matter of seconds thereafter.
Following the win, Jousset called out Ian Garry in an attempt to continue the theme of defeating Irish fighters.
With the victory, Jousset, a former two-weight champion for Eternal MMA, has won four bouts in a row. On the flip side, Crosbie loses for the first time since his Bellator departure in late 2021.
