Anshul Jubli
King of Lions
India
Lasts 19 seconds at UFC 312
Jubli lost to Quillan Salkilld via TKO (punch) at 0:19 of Round 1 at UFC 312 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Thanks for stopping by. There's a case to be made the stoppage of referee Jim Perdios was a tad early, but Jubli ate a massive right hook from Salkilld which floored him on the spot. He briefly covered up afterwards, and that was all Perdios needed to see to pull the plug. Jubli was the biggest underdog on the card at +400, so while this result isn't unexpected, it would have been nice to see him be a tad more competitive. The 30-year-old has lost two straight and will likely be fighting for his job his next time out.

Finished late in strange fight
Jubli lost to Mike Breeden via KO (punches) at 3:00 of Round 3 at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It's exceedingly rare in this sport you see a fighter lose because they break from a mental standpoint, but that's exactly what happened to Jubli here. Unquestionably up two rounds and cruising to a decision victory, Jubli appeared totally baffled in Round 3 after Breeden decided to not only stand in front of him and start screaming, but also start barking at him. Jubli ended up in a trance-like state, eventually being knocked out. While the loss hurts, it's also important to remember Jubli has all of eight professional fights under his belt, and that Breeden missed weight by 3.5 pounds Friday morning. That said, he'll have to learn from this performance.

Fight stays in tact
Jubli's scheduled lightweight fight against Mike Breeden will proceed as planned despite Breeden missing weight by 3.5 pounds Friday morning, Chatmatkar Sandhu of TNT Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Earlier reports suggested that Breeden was still awaiting medical clearance, but the two participated in the ceremonial weigh-ins later in the day, so it appears as if everything is good to go. Jubli will presumably obtain an undisclosed percentage of Breeden's purse in exchange for allowing the fight to proceed, and remains approximately a (-270) betting favorite as of Friday afternoon.
