UFC Fight Night 78 results: Ricardo Lamas batters Diego Sanchez, wins gritty decision

"The Bully" bullied a UFC veteran fighting in a new weight class on Saturday night (November 21, 2015).

Ricardo Lamas (16-4) defeated Diego Sanchez (25-8) by unanimous at UFC Fight Night 78 in Monterrey, Mexico inside Arena Monterrey.

All three judges scored the bout 30-27.

Lamas was just too much for the 13-year veteran, who was fighting in the fourth different weight class of his career. The nasty low leg kicks that Lamas landed on Sanchez proved to swing the momentum of the bout, but Sanchez showed his trademark heart and toughness and hung on until the end.
