Overwhelmed in UFC debut
Lane lost to Justin Tafa via TKO (punches) at 1:22 of Round 1 at UFC 293 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
These two fought in late-June, with an accidental eye poke from Lane just 29 seconds in resulting in a no contest. They ran it back here, with Austen looking just fine in his company debut until one sweeping left hand from Tafa knocked him into another dimension. Referee Jim Perdios gave Lane every chance to recover, but it simply wasn't happening. Austen is theoretically interesting because he's huge (6-foot-6), and as a former NFL player, is obviously a great athlete, but he will be 36 years of age this coming November and is miles behind where he needs to be in terms of MMA experience.

UFC debut ends in no contest
Lane and Justin Tafa fought to a no contest (accidental eye poke) at 0:29 of Round 1 at UFC on ABC 5 on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
ANALYSIS
It's an extremely disappointing result for both men, especially Lane, who was making his UFC debut in the city in which he played for the NFL's Jaguars. Austen connected with a pair of body kicks in the early going before landing a vicious, accidental eye poke on Tafa. The blow did a ton of damage, and Tafa had zero chance of continuing despite the situation being handled perfectly by referee Dan Miragliotta. Expect the UFC to hook these two up once again as soon as Tafa is fully recovered.
