Dominates Tucker Lutz in Vegas
Sabatini defeated Tucker Lutz via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Lutz looked awful, but credit Sabatini for coming in and dominating as a slight (+110) betting underdog. Recognizing Lutz didn't have a prayer in the world of slowing down his wresting game, Sabatini fired off 11 takedowns attempts, landing five of them for 10:55 worth of control time. He kept Lutz pinned to the mat for at least half the round in each of the three frames, including a whopping 4:40 in Round 2 alone. The 31-year-old Pennsylvania has come out of nowhere to pick up three victories to begin his UFC career and is clearly a fighter to monitor as the calendar pushes towards 2022.
