Luke Sanders had Iuri Alcantara dead to rights until the Brazilian veteran pulled off one of the slickest submissions of the year at UFC 209.
After spending the majority of Saturday's fight being pummeled by an onslaught of punches on the mat, "Marajo" showed off his Brazilian jiu-jitsu mastery by reversing positions in Round 2 and forcing a disappointed Sanders to tap out to a kneebar.
