LAS VEGAS – Pat Sabatini couldn’t be happier with his performance in the UFC on ESPN 65 co-main event against Joanderson Brito.
Sabatini (20-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC) was an underdog according to the oddsmakers, but he certainly proved them wrong as he dominated Brito (17-5-1 MMA, 5-3 UFC) for 15 minutes. He even earned a 10-8 score from one of the official judges in the final round.
“I’m f*cking thrilled, I’m really f*cking thrilled,” Sabatini told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “… It’s great going and getting a win against such a dangerous opponent who has a win over Diego Lopes, which was my last loss. It just shows me what I’m doing. I’m going in the right direction, and it’s just more motivation to keep climbing.”
