Chris Kelades
The Greek Assassin
Kelades lost to Sergio Pettis via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 197 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Kelades did all he could, but it simply wasn't enough. Kelades actually won the total strike battle by a count of 82-72, but none of those strikes were particularly noteworthy and he spent nearly a round (4:52) on his back. Kelades' UFC run (2-2 record) has actually gone better than most would have predicted, but at age-35, we have seen just about all he has to offer. He can't keep up with younger, more talented opponents.
