TORONTO, Ontario, Canada — Vinny Magalhães, a longtime friend of OTM, made a triumphant return to the UFC light-heavyweight division on Saturday night on the undercard of UFC 152 - Jones vs. Belfort. He did so with a second round armbar victory over the heavy-handed UFC veteran Igor Pokrajac. The submission came just 74-seconds into the second round and "snapped" Pokrajac's 3-fight winning streak in the UFC both figuratively and literally.
