Former UFC bantamweight [autotag]Vince Morales[/autotag] has been on an impressive run on the regional scene and has added a rarely-seen submission to his highlight reel.

At United Fight League 5, Morales (16-7) faced fellow UFC veteran Hunter Azure (11-4) for the promotion’s bantamweight title at Gila River Resorts & Casino in Chandler, Ariz.

In Round 3, Morales wrapped up Azure on the mat, sinking in a modified Peruvian necktie to get the tap at 4:06.

Check out video of the finish below:

The Peruvian necktie is so rare it has only been pulled off twice in the UFC.

CB Dollaway was the first, tapping Jesse Taylor at UFC Fight Night 14 in July 2008. The second occurrence was by Misha Cirkunov, who submitted Jimmy Crute at UFC Fight Night 158 in September 2019.

It happened once under the Bellator banner in June 2011, when Pat Curran trapped Luis Palomino with the choke at Bellator 46.

Morales exited the UFC in November 2019 after a unanimous decision loss to Miles Johns. Since then, he’s been seemingly untouchable. The victory over Azure extended his current winning streak to five, including four finishes.
