I was doing a lot of guard, I was learning bit by bit, and I feel like it all melted together now. I was lost, trying to figure out my style – kind of lost my identity, and you saw it in my last fight. Ever since I lost that close fight to Anthony Smith, I was like, ‘I really can’t just rely on my wrestling for every fight – someone is going to stop it.’ I worked endlessly, diligently, on my striking – became obsessed with it. I was just pumping out decisions, close fights. “My confidence is back and it’s higher than ever. For a decision machine like myself, it feels good to get a finish.” Sanchez on his improvements I rocked him a couple of times and one of them just laid him out flat. I started jumping the 1-2s I’ve been working on nonstop since getting up to Tristar. He was throwing big and he was missing big. He threw a front kick that hit me right in the chin – hit me with something that kind of buzzed me a bit. Key stat: It was five years and a day since Sanchez’s previous stoppage win in an official fight – at RFA 28 before he was on Season 23 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Sanchez on the fight’s key moment Updated records: Sanchez (12-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC), Turman (16-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) Wellington Turman via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 4:14 Take a look inside the fight with Sanchez, who got back in the win column after a decision loss to Marvin Vettori in October 2019.

Hebard’s ensuing free throw cut Seattle’s lead to 52-40 and it appeared Chicago had a chance to get back into the game. One such instance came with 5:50 left in the third quarter after a Ruthy Hebard layup and foul drawn. But with nine assists and veteran leadership, she did her best to get her team fired up throughout the game. Seattle’s Alysha Clark was 2-of-2 from distance and scored 12 points for the game, while 20-year-old rookie Ezi Magbegor contributed 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field.Ĭhicago’s Courtney Vandersloot had a quiet night in the scoring column: just four points. Seattle’s 17 steals as a team compared to Chicago’s eight was a key factor in the contest. Whitcomb went 3-of-3 from downtown, dished out six assists and had four steals. Stewart’s performance was complemented by Sami Whitcomb’s 17 points off the bench. If the Sky (5-3) had won, the two teams would be tied at 6-2 right now and the Sky would have the head-to-head tiebreaker for the top spot. With the win, the Storm (7-1) remain alone in first place. Breanna Stewart, who scored 10 points in the first quarter, kept the Storm in first place with help from Sami Whitcomb, Alysha Clark and Ezi Magbegor.īreanna Stewart turned in her most complete performance of the season on Monday night with 25 points, seven assists, five rebounds and four steals as her Seattle Storm defeated the Chicago Sky 89-71 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
