In a stunning display of skill and efficiency, Daniele Miceli made waves in the MMA community with his lightning-fast victory via a Von Flue choke, securing a memorable win in just 28 seconds during a recent Professional Fighting League (PFL) event in Europe.
PFL Europe 1: 2024 marked the organization’s triumphant return to the continent, showcasing Europe’s top emerging MMA talents in an exhilarating night of fights held on March 7 in Paris, France.

From the onset, both fighters exhibited ferocity, engaging in a flurry of strikes and grappling exchanges. Najid’s powerful left hand found its mark early, but Miceli remained composed, focusing on his grappling expertise.
As Najid executed a double leg takedown, aiming to capitalize on his grappling prowess, Miceli seized the opportunity to implement his game plan. In a rapid sequence, Miceli ensnared Najid in a Von Flue choke, catching his opponent off guard.
Despite Najid’s valiant efforts to escape, Miceli’s technique proved too formidable, securing a tight grip and forcing his opponent to submit within mere seconds of the match’s commencement.
The Von Flue choke, named after professional mixed martial artist Jason Von Flue, serves as a potent shoulder choke maneuver utilized from side control, effectively neutralizing opponents attempting guillotine chokes.
