No-shows Vegas loss
Sutherland lost to Jose Luiz via submission (neck crank) at 1:50 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a hysterically poor performance from Sutherland as a shocking -250 favorite. He gave up about the easiest takedown you will ever see to Luiz before allowing his opponent to eventually take his back with zero resistance. Louie tapped almost immediately to what originally appeared to be a rear-naked choke, but later proved to be a neck crank. Sutherland falls to 1-3 in four UFC fights, with his lone victory coming his last time out against Tai Tuivasa, a guy that has lost seven straight. His roster spot is far from secure.

Heavyweight clash booked
Sutherland will take on Jose Luiz "Montanha" in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Vegas 120 on August 8, Marcel Dorff of Heavy on Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Sutherland was finished in his first two UFC bouts before taking a unanimous decision against Tai Tuivasa in a low-level heavyweight fight last May. The win likely bought him another fight, especially given the lack of depth at heavyweight. Sutherland now faces a younger, taller fighter in Montanha who has been picking up stoppages on the Brazilian regional circuit. It's possible he enters as an underdog despite having more UFC experience, though this level of heavyweight is usually a toss-up.

Finally earns first UFC win
Sutherland defeated Tai Tuivasa via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Sutherland wasn't competitive in either of his first two UFC fights, suffering first-round stoppage losses at the hands of Brando Pericic and Valter Walker. He was undoubtedly fighting for his job against Tuivasa and found himself a +175 underdog despite the fact his opponent entered on a six-fight losing streak. To Sutherland's credit, he recognized Tai's greatest weakness and exploited it. Louie turned five successful takedowns into 11:45 worth of control time and a 111-27 edge in total strikes landed. There's absolutely nothing to suggest any of this is sticky, and Sutherland probably needs another win his next time out to ensure his roster spot is safe, but he can breathe a bit for now.

Scheduled against Tuivasa
Sutherland will fight fellow heavyweight Tai Tuivasa at UFC Perth on May 2, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Sutherland will replace Sean Sharaf, who was initially scheduled against Tuivasa for UFC Perth. The updated fight will be a battle between down-on-their-luck heavyweights, with both on losing streaks. Sutherland lost his last two, and Tuivasa has suffered six.
