Second straight submission win
Patterson defeated Kiefer Crosbie via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 2:50 of Round 1 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Patterson picked up his first UFC win this past January with a submission of Yohan Lainesse, and he had an equally easy time here with Crosbie. Sam easily dragged his opponent to the mat and worked for the arm-triangle choke that closed the show. Patterson is intriguing if for no other reason than at 6-foot-4, he's about the biggest welterweight you will ever see. His submission skills are legitimate, and that, combined with the size, gives him some legitimate future potential.

Secures first UFC victory
Patterson defeated Yohan Lainesse via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:03 of Round 1 at UFC 297 on Saturday in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It was a big rebound effort from Patterson on the heels of his 75-second knockout defeat to Yanal Ashmouz in his UFC debut last March. Facing an opponent in Lainesse with some power and little else, Sam secure a shockingly easy takedown before quickly taking Lainesse's back and choking him out. Patterson is still just 27 years of age, but he has no history of defeating even average competition in his professional career. He needs to continue his winning ways if he hopes to make an ongoing impact at 170 pounds.

He lost to Yanal Ashmouz in his home country at UFC 286 and withdrew from a fight against Nasrat Haqparast because of health problems, which fortunately seem resolved.
