WINNER: ADRIAN SANCHEZ

Method: KO/TKO (ROUND 2)

Sanchez’s current momentum is undeniable. He is fighting with a level of confidence that is hard to bet against in a title match. Santana is dangerous but Sanchez’s technical striking and superior EFC cage experience will allow him to find the finish in the second round.
