Team Sonnen clinches first win as Luke Barnatt dominates Gilbert Smith

Series continues next Tuesday on FX at 9 p.m. ET/PT

Las Vegas, Nevada –The Ultimate Fighter® returned Tuesday night on FX with the second episode of the season – “Ambush.”In the first preliminary bout, Luke Barnatt, from Cambridge, England, dominated Colorado Spring’s Gilbert Smith when they squared off in the Octagon®.

Using his significant height and reach advantage, Barnatt, 5-0 in mixed martial arts, dictated much of the fight before stopping the much smaller Smith (5-1) in the second round.

Before the bout, the fighters on Team Jones had voiced concerns about the match-up, but head coach Jon “Bones” Jones insisted on his selection and, ultimately, was proved wrong.

Afull recap is available at ufc.com.
