Jim Miller, Gegard Mousasi and Joe Lauzon delivered three first round KO’s during the Fight Pass portion of UFC 200. Lauzon became the first man to ever finish Diego Sanchez with strikes, while Miller likely ended Takanori Gomi’s career, and Mousasi ended Thiago Santos’ winning streak. Professional fighters were pleased with the performances, but also confused with the special yellow Octagon mat.
Joe Lauzon vs. Diego Sanchez
Joe lauzon: “sometimes you have to sacrifice your face”. That’s exactly what this fight is going to be like #UFC200

Wow, yellow/orange Octagon makes me think of Cage Rage or King of the Cage. Also, does Gomi age physically? #UFC200
