After taking a 20-month layoff in the aftermath of his octagon debut, Clayton Carpenter returned to action Saturday at UFC Fight Night 244 and put on a violent performance against Lucas Rocha . It was largely one-way traffic for Carpenter (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in the flyweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He got top position on Rocha (17-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in the opening round and landed a big elbow to open up a nasty cut. Then, in the next frame, he took the back of his opponent and locked in a deep rear-naked choke for the technical submission finish at the 2:12 mark of Round 2.
