How is Yundt a UFC newcomer as you point out in your lede?
I have no idea what the UFC is waiting to see with Sakara.
His death?
Nearly all his fights have ended in the first round. Zuffa has to love that. And what better way to make a new rising star look good than to book a fight with a guy they know will charge him with his arms flailing and probably make sure he gets knocked out within five minutes!
MJB, only a one minute inside a UFC octagon might possibly equal UFC newcomer… but I could be jumping to conclusions
