Niklas Backstrom: Drops Majority Decision To Noad Lahat Saturday
Backstrom lost to Noad Lahat by majority decision (28-28, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Berlin.
ANALYSIS
Backstrom got the short end of a fight that should have been scored a draw. Backstrom did surprisingly well against Lahat (who is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt) on the ground, but he got eaten up on the feet, especially in Round 2. Backstrom's May 2014 submission win against Tom Niinimaki in his UFC debut seems like an awful long time ago. He's lost two straight since.
