Jiu-Jitsu world champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes lived up to his nickname and finished Yoshiro Maeda, a former PRIDE fighter, at DREAM 18 on New Year’s Eve.

The black belt took just over a minute to take his opponent down and finish the Japanese fighter with a triangle in the first round.

With the result, the bantamweight nabs his 13th win in MMA.

In other action at the event, Jiu-Jitsu black belt Shinya Aoki dispatched Antonio McKee via technical knockout.

Holland’s Melvin Manhoef knocked out former Pride FC and UFC star Denis Kang with a flying knee.

The seasoned Tatsuya Kawajiri also came up spades, overcoming former UFC fighter Michihiro Omigawa via unanimous decision.
