Ben Saunders had found himself in a very peculiar situation before his UFC Orlando match against Alan Jouban.
Over the weekend Saunders went head to head with another 10th Planet member. This would be no issue if it weren’t for the recent controversy where Elia Yuriditsky black belt credentials were no longer honored after he went up against 10th planet flag bearer Marvin Castelle.

Here’s what Saunders wrote:
Jouban and Saunders were locked into a back-and-forth standup struggle until Jouban started to pull away in round two and ultimately delivered a devastating knock out.
