Highlights! Jimmy Crute cashes in on co-main event bid with wild ‘Camel Clutch’ submission | UFC Perth

Jimmy Crute made it look easy in a co-main event appearance last night (Sat., Sept. 27, 2025) at UFC Perth LIVE on ESPN+ from inside RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, shutting out light heavyweight Ivan Erslan with a first-round submission (neck crank).

This was a big opportunity for both fighters after a pre-fight cancelation propelled their 205-pound matchup into the co-headlining spot. Crute carried more pressure to perform in front of his home crowd, but it was Erslan’s third — and possibly last

— chance to earn a win inside of the Octagon.

It didn’t take Crute long to implement his strong grappling game and drag Erslan to the canvas. Erslan is a striker and doesn’t really have much of a ground game, so he was quickly outmatched. Crute flowed with the action and eventually transitioned to Erslan’s back, securing a neck crank (which looked a whole lot like a Camel Clutch) in the process and forcing the Croatian fighter to tap.
