Janes is a walking zombie. Sanchez should've subbed him when he had the chance.

Wow Sanchez looks completely shot right now.  Didn't think Janes would have survive that flurry, but now Sanchez looks porked and Janes has more left in the gas tank to put Sanchez away.

Sanchez is running on empty. Burnt himself out trying to finish in the first.

19-18 Sanchez

Janes had a decent second round and Sanchez looked like absolute ****.  Sanchez shouldn't have burnt out his gas tank in that first round going for the KO, even though it could have arguably been stopped.

Big time comeback win for Ryan Janes.  That performance easily saved him from getting cut.  Sanchez got unlucky by going for it all in the first round and paid for it.

Crazy turnaround in this fight - one of the most entertaining fights of the year. I'd love to see a re-match.

@TAMAninja you defined that fight perfectly. it was an awesome ****** fight.

TUF Winner Sanchez just got TKO'ed by arguably the worst striker of this division. Janes took a page out of the old Big Nog book of impersonating a punching bag until the other guy punches himself out and coming back to take the win.

terrible technique, legendary chin.

Marks is gonna need a win or a fight of the night type performance if she is gonna stay in the UFC, me thinks.  Very rarely does the UFC give a.500 fighter another fight if they lose.

Armbars for everyone tonight I guess.  That was a fast finish for De La Rosa.

Beautiful sub!

Antônio Carlos "Shoeface" (who is also a BJJ world champ) is doing the color commentary in the brazilian transmission said he loved the calf slicer variation that Johns pulled and that he will totally try that on the mat next time.

WOW!  What a great way to end the round for Fabian with that head kick.  That was shin to chin too.  Easily a 10-8 for Fabian.

DeAnna is highly susceptible to that high leg kick. I bet the UFC will matchup Sabin Mazo against her in her debut if they sign her.

29-26 Fabian

Bennett looked like absolute crap that entire fight and that lucky "knock down" at the end of the round shouldn't be the determining factor.  Bennett did nothing with her stalling against the fence and was eating some decent shots from Fabian while going for the takedown.
