Thomas Almeida and Aljamain Sterling saw their respective undefeated records come to an end on Sunday's UFC Fight Night card in Las Vegas. Hype train derailed? Mookie Alexander believes that's just part of being a prospect.
Two of the three undefeated bantamweight prospects on Sunday night's UFC Fight Night 88 card suffered their first professional defeats. Thomas Almeida was undone by fellow unbeaten Cody Garbrandt's brutally powerful right hand, while Aljamain Sterling faded after a strong round 1 and dropped a split decision to the dangerous Bryan Caraway.
As is the usual thing to shout when red-hot prospects are defeated in the UFC, the HYPE TRAIN WAS DERAILED!
