Other than the rear naked choke attempt, Aubin-Mercier didn&#8217;t do much else to try and end the fight; &#8220;The Quebec Kid&#8221; seemed content with riding out a decision victory in front of his fellow Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>Aubin-Mercier only needed fifteen seconds to secure a takedown in the final round, essentially securing his unanimous decision win. While it wasn&#8217;t the most exciting performance, Aubin-Mercier is now riding a three fight win streak.
