RFA 20 video highlights: Will Luke Sanders’ spectacular finish lead to UFC contract?

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 14:18:10 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News There’s a very good reason there was this one persistent question after Friday’s RFA 20 event: Is Luke Sanders now headed to the UFC? Sanders (9-0) dazzled in the AXS TV-televised headliner and extended his undefeated run with a title win over Jarred Mercado (12-2) at 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo. Although Mercado failed to make weight and wasn’t eligible to win the vacant bantamweight title, “Cool Hand” made the most of his eligibility and earned a first-round TKO victory after landing a crushing knee. The victory, which marked the sixth knockout of Sanders’ career, prompted a post-fight interview in which the 28-year-old stumped for a shot in the UFC. And if recent history tells us anything, winning an RFA belt is likely to result in his wish being granted. In the co-headliner, welterweight Benjamin Smith (10-2) extended his winning streak to five fights after posting a dominant unanimous decision victory over local product Josh Cavan (9-5).
