MMA fighter winks at crowd before adding to incredible streak of first-round finishes

Jon Furuheim Winks At Crowd Before Securing Submission

Scheduled just before the FCR 24 co-main event between Christopher Bajo and Ali Isajew, the matchup between Furuheim and Lima saw both men enter the cage on very different trajectories.

Lima came into the night looking to get back into the win column after being stopped in his first two outings of 2025, while Furuheim had impressively rebounded from his first career loss in 2023 with a five-fight win streak where he’d stopped every one of his opponents inside the first frame.

Both men were making their promotional debuts for FCR, and Furuheim ended up extending his incredible run of first-round finishes when he caught Lima in an anaconda choke just over halfway through the opening round.

Anaconda chokes are already a fairly rare submission in MMA, but “Wonderboy” added a little extra flair to the finish by winking at the crowd several times before he sat into the choke and forced a tap from the Brazilian.

The win brought Furuheim’s pro record to 9-1 after he also put together an impressive 10-2 amateur career, and of the Norwegian’s ten pro fights only two of those outings have gone past the first round.
