When fighters suffer defeat, they go back to the drawing board and learn from their mistakes. They figure out what went wrong, and make corrections for next time. Not often, though, do fighters get to learn directly from their victorious opponents.
But, there are always exceptions.
Enter Ben Saunders. After his second-round submission loss at UFC Sao Paulo last weekend, the veteran welterweight had a brief, impromptu grappling session with Brazilian Sergio Moraes, who beat ‘Killa B’ with an arm triangle.
Saunders was sitting in the back after the fight. The shuttle back to the hotel was delayed multiple times, so Saunders had to stay at the arena longer than expected and watched the rest of the card there instead.
