Jason Knight was doing well when attacking Ricardo Lamas with leg locks from his back, but when that failed and he went to stand up midway through the opening round, he took a lackadaisical approach to protecting his face. That was all the opening Lamas (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) needed to land a series of damaging punches that left Knight (17-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) wobbling around the cage, with the TKO finish soon to follow at the 4:34 mark of Round 1. TOTAL CARNAGE! Ricardo Lamas ends Jason Knight's streak and puts on a show with brutal strikes! #UFC214 https://t.co/w92nfpTdb6 — FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) July 30, 2017 The featherweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC 214 event at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. It aired on FXX following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on pay-per-view. Lamas got off to a good start by taking Knight down early in this fight, but once he got Knight on his back he struggled to mount much of an effective offense against the active guard game of Knight.
