UFC Fight Night 126 results: Roberto Sanchez chokes out Joby Sanchez in first

In a battle of Sanchezes, it was Roberto who brought a lot more than a “Little Fury” to stop Joby.

Roberto Sanchez (8-1 MMA, 1-1) submitted Joby Sanchez (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with a first-round rear-naked choke. The stoppage came at the 1:50 mark of the fight.

The flyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 126 event at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. It aired on FS1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the main card on FS1.

Roberto threw a 1-2 early, then took Joby down after he landed a counter kick to the body. Joby was back up quickly, but Roberto stayed on him and pressed him to the fence. Joby moved out, but Roberto continued to control him a minute in. Roberto dropped him back down, then took Joby’s back when Joby got back to his feet. He worked for a choke with the body triangle wrapped up on the feet.

Joby controlled Roberto’s right arm to fight the choke, but soon after that Roberto dropped to his back and kept the choke on tight. Joby fought it, but it was way too tight and he had no choice but to tap.

Roberto Sanchez got back in the win column following a submission loss to Joseph Morales this past August in his promotional debut. That setback snapped a perfect 7-0 start to his career. Joby Sanchez had a four-fight winning streak snapped – including a pair of wins on Dana White’s Contender Series that got him his second stint in the UFC.
