Rony Jason puts Mike Wilkinson to sleep in 84 seconds

In what was the first fight on the main card of UFC on Fuel TV 10 we had a battle between former TUF contestants. Rony Jason won the inaugural TUF Brazil crown and Mike Wilkinson was in TUF Smashes and never actually lost a fight but had to leave the house due to a eye injury.
Mike Wilkinson came in to the fight unbeaten and was hoping to continue that run. The fight started slowly with Wilkinson circling around on the outside while Jason stayed in the middle of the cage. Then Jason swings for a big right hand which Wilkinson manages to duck and shoots in for the take down, driving Jason to the canvas and landing in his guard.
Wilkinson lands a few shots from the top position while in Jason's guard but it doesn't take long for Jason to raise his legs up and over Wilkinson's shoulders. At this point Wilkinson is in a lot of trouble but still has space but then when Jason adjusts he locks in the triangle. Wilkinson is now in serious trouble and when Jason starts to land a few elbows to Wilkinson's head Marc Goddard realises that Wilkinson is out.
Some may say it was a slow stoppage from Marc Goddard but it didn't take long for Wilkinson to go to sleep and as soon as he spotted he was out he stopped the fight. This was Wilkinson's first defeat in his MMA career and he now has a 8-1 record and 1-1 in the UFC. I hope he gets another shot in the UFC.
As for Rony Jason he now improves his record to 13-3 and is 3-0 in the UFC, I see a step up in competition for Jason now as he looks to work his way up the ranks of the featherweight division.
