Joanderson Tubarão is dominated by Pat Sabatini and loses at UFC Vegas 105
Sabatini wasted no time. Less than 30 seconds after the start of the fight, he took advantage of a kick from the Brazilian to land him on the ground. Tubarão responded with an attempt at a Von Flue-style guillotine, but the technique failed. The American resumed the pressure against the fence, immobilizing his opponent and limiting his actions. The containment tactic neutralized Tubarão's attacks, who had difficulty repositioning himself.
Tubarão's fall defense was once again questioned. In the first attack, Sabatini took down the opponent again and assumed half guard. In the dominant position, he delivered precise elbow strikes, including one that hit his opponent squarely in the face.
The last round brought a glimmer of hope for Tubarão. Standing, Brito invested in exchanges and seemed to land some good blows. Sabatini, however, kept his cool and immediately sought another takedown. Despite an initial defense from the Brazilian, the American finished the action on top, ending the round with dominance.

The South Korean left no doubt about his superiority by imposing a frenetic rhythm of takedowns and finishing his opponent with a precise combination of elbows from the mounted position.

From the first round, Lee demonstrated a clear strategy: take the fight to the ground. With incisive takedowns, he neutralized the reach advantage of Romious, a striking specialist.
The pressure in the grappling suffocated the North American, who found no room to react. In the second round, after another takedown, the South Korean athlete reached full mount and unleashed an uninterrupted series of blows.
“Meteor shower.” The expression, used by commentators during the broadcast, summed up the sequence of elbows that broke Romious’ defense. The victory marks the Asian’s fifth consecutive victory in the organization, while the American has accumulated two consecutive losses.
