Charles Johnson showed off a rare submission to get the job done at UFC 330

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Charles Johnson showed he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve after pulling off the rare Scottish twister submission to dispatch Eduardo Chapolin at UFC 330 on Saturday. Originally scheduled to face Jose Ochoa until just a few days ago, Chapolin accepted the fight and nearly pulled off the upset after the cracked Johnson with a stiff shot that dropped the veteran flyweight in the second round. But Johnson showed off his signature durability as he bounced back and recovered between rounds. In the third, Johnson looked like the fresher fighter as he started dishing out punishment until a scramble led to him taking Chapolin’s back momentarily. As Chapolin tried to reverse positions, Johnson made him pay by immediately grabbing onto the Scottish twister with the tap coming just seconds later. NASTY twister by Charles Johnson 🤢 📺 #UFC330 on @paramountplus pic.twitter.com/MPP4alSEbb — UFC on Paramount+ (@UFConParamount) August 16, 2026 The official stoppage came at 1:36 in the third round. “That’s my shit,” Johnson said about his submission finish. “I’ve been training diligently. We worked our ass off. I kind of made him feel he could turn in and I had it.” Johnson showed why he’s still one of the most dangerous fighters on the roster because he’s been able to pull off similar victories in the past including knockouts over current UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van and top 10 ranked contender Lone’er Kavanagh. Now Johnson adds Chapolin’s name to his resume as he gets back on track with a win at UFC 330.
