Hangs tough in late-notice debut

Sharaf lost to Junior Tafa via TKO (punches) at 2:15 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

ANALYSIS
Accepting this fight in just four days' notice, Sharaf was extremely unlucky in his UFC debut. Tafa got away with a blatant fence grab in the opening frame in order to remain upright. Sean also had this fight won at the end of Round 1 after ending up in mount, but time ran out, and Tafa survived. The tide predictably turned in Round 2 when Sharaf totally gassed out and Junior put him away. The poor cardio is a major concern given the fact Sharaf had only four pro fights under his belt entering the evening, but he'll certainly get another shot with the company after "saving" this matchup.
