Inconsistent ways continue
Colares lost to Chris Gutierrez via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The "split decision" term implies Colares performed better than he looked inside the Octagon. He was competitive, but this was a clear cut decision for Gutierrez. Colares' best round was the first. He out landed Gutierrez in the opening frame 21-19, before finding himself in a 96-49 hole the rest of the way. Colares did land a takedown for 2:16 worth of control time in Round 3, but that still wasn't enough to earn him the decision. The 27-year-old Brazilian has now alternated losses and wins in his first five bouts with the company since arriving on the scene in February 2019.

Rebound following slow start
Colares defeated Luke Sanders via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Colares' victory was more the result of Sanders collapsing as opposed to anything the Brazilian did correctly, but Colares will take it. He had a difficult time in the early going when both men were fresh. Thankfully for Colares, Sanders completely gassed out after about four minutes and he took full advantage. Colares is a solid mat specialist who offers very little power. His conditioning is also mediocre. He has looked like little more than roster depth through his first four UFC bouts, posting a 2-2 mark. Expect the 27-year-old to hover right around the .500 mark moving forward.
