Taps early as massive underdog
Yannis lost to Austin Bashi via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:39 of Round 1 at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Yannis gets a bit of a break here for taking this fight on short notice and entering as the largest betting underdog on the card, but this one was arguably over before it started. Yannis ate a big hook early and came up empty in his attempts at return fire. Before he know it, Bashi completed a successful single-leg takedown and was giving up his back moments later. Yannis should get another shot with the company due to his willingness to "save" this fight, but not much should be expected from the 31-year-old moving forward.
