Pulls huge upset in Vegas
Saragih defeated Lucas Alexander via KO (punches) at 1:31 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Who could have seen this coming? Saragih spent his entire career fighting on the Asian regional scene prior to his UFC debut last February. He fought Anshul Jubli in that bout and was overwhelmed in a second-round KO defeat. Here, he was facing an opponent in Alexander who not only entered as a -500 favorite, but also missed weight by two pounds Friday morning. One right hand and some follow-up shots later, Saragih produced what will go down as one of the biggest upsets of the evening. There's little reason to expect future success from the soon-to-be 29-year-old, but he now has a UFC victory on his resume. Plus, in addition to taking a percentage of his opponent's fight purse in exchange for allowing the bout to proceed, Saragih will also go home with an extra $50,000 after getting awarded Performance of the Night honors.

No-shows loss in Vegas
Saragih lost to Anshul Jubli via TKO (elbows) at 3:44 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -155 favorite, Saragih wasn't competitive in a fight which lasted the better part of ten minutes. He landed just 20 total strikes compared to 74 from Jubli. He also gave up two takedowns on five attempts. Saragih racked up a ton of stoppage wins on the Asian regional circuit, earning finishes in 12 of his 13 victories, but the fact he wasn't competitive in the biggest fight of his career stateside isn't a great sign moving forward. It remains to be seen if the 28-year-old will be granted another UFC opportunity.
