As the old saying goes, a win is a win.
But for UFC middleweight Alessio Sakara, his UFC on Versus 1 win over
James Irvin came in a less-than-desirable fashion after a legal punch to
the eye led directly to a first-round finish of “The Sandman.”
Despite the auspicious ending to the bout, Sakara looked impressive in
the opening minutes of the contest, and the win was his third-straight
in the UFC. And now “Legionarius,” who once appeared close to losing his
spot in the UFC, has his eyes on some of the middleweight division’s
best.
