Chase Hooper needed less than four minutes to dispatch Clay Guida in dominant fashion on the UFC 310 prelims on Saturday.

After securing a couple of takedowns during the fight, Hooper ended up jumping on Guida’s back before transitioning into the armbar on the canvas. Despite Guida’s best efforts to scramble and break free, he couldn’t get loose and once Hooper arched his back, the 42-year-old veteran had no choice but to tap out or risk serious injury to his arm.

The tap came at 3:41 in the opening round.

Following the win, Hooper paid homage to recent UFC signee Mikey Musumeci for showing him how to get that armbar submission, which he employed to finish Guida on Saturday.

“Feels like everything’s coming full circle,” Hooper said about returning to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where he started his UFC career. “That armbar was my butchered version of what [Mikey Musumeci] showed me. 10 fights, I’m here.”

Prior to the finish, Hooper also showed off some solid improvements with his striking as well but his grappling game never gave Guida a chance to breathe. While Guida did manage to get back to his feet on a couple of occasions, he just couldn’t keep Hooper off him long enough to mount any real offense.

Once the fight hit the floor the final time, Hooper set up the submission perfectly and he tapped Guida for his fourth straight win in a row overall.

Now 15-3-1 overall, Hooper really seems like he’s coming into his own while building momentum in the lightweight division while Guida suffers his third straight loss while falling to 1-4 in his past five outings.
