George Mangos kept his perfect professional record intact at Road to UFC Season 5, finishing his opponent by submission in the second round to advance in the tournament.
The 23-year-old Australian trains out of Lion's Den Academy and entered the contest undefeated at 7-0. The victory pushes him to 8-0 and confirms his place among the contenders still alive in RTU5, which continues to air live on UFC Fight Pass.
Why it matters
- Mangos remains unbeaten and advances deeper into a tournament designed to identify the next wave of UFC talent from the Asia-Pacific region.
- A second-round submission finish signals finishing ability, a quality the UFC tends to reward when evaluating prospects from Road to UFC.
- With RTU5 still ongoing, Mangos will need at least one more victory to claim a UFC contract through the bracket.
