LAS VEGAS – Other than his opponent, the only person that didn’t seem particularly excited after Iuri Alcantara ’s crazy comeback win at Saturday’s UFC 209 was Alcantara himself. After surviving Luke Sanders’ (11-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) onslaught in the first round – illegal knee included – to find, bloodied and battered, the redeeming kneebar in the second , Alcantara (35-7 MMA, 9-4 UFC) explained why he simply wasn’t that happy with what took place in the octagon. “I usually don’t fight well when I’m not nervous,” Alcantara said backstage in his native Portuguese.
