More Fantasy News
Scheduled against debutant
Saragih is scheduled to compete against fellow featherweight Joo Sang Yoo at UFC 316 in Newark on June 7, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Saragih is looking for his second straight win as a UFC featherweight. For the victory, he will have to defeat one of the promotion's newest signings, an undefeated 31-year-old out of South Korea with eight wins and four finishes (three KO/TKOs and one submission).

Taps out as massive favorite
Saragih lost to Westin Wilson via submission (triangle armbar) at 1:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Entering as a -360 favorite, Saragih came out like a house on fire and landed a couple big blows early on, but Wilson survived the storm and got to his grappling game. Saragih looked like a fish out of water on the mat, quickly tapping out when Wilson got him in a vulnerable position. The fact Jeka was such a massive favorite makes zero sense considering he entered with a 1-1 record in two UFC bouts and has zero history of defeating anyone of note. There's not much to be excited about here.

Next fight scheduled
Saragih is scheduled to compete against Westin Wilson in a featherweight fight at the UFC Apex's June 15 event, per Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
Saragih will look to build a winning streak with his next fight after coming off defeating Lucas Alexander. If the Indonesian 29-year-old can defeat Wilson, perhaps rolling at featherweight is the way to go for him.

Pulls huge upset in Vegas
Saragih defeated Lucas Alexander via KO (punches) at 1:31 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Who could have seen this coming? Saragih spent his entire career fighting on the Asian regional scene prior to his UFC debut last February. He fought Anshul Jubli in that bout and was overwhelmed in a second-round KO defeat. Here, he was facing an opponent in Alexander who not only entered as a -500 favorite, but also missed weight by two pounds Friday morning. One right hand and some follow-up shots later, Saragih produced what will go down as one of the biggest upsets of the evening. There's little reason to expect future success from the soon-to-be 29-year-old, but he now has a UFC victory on his resume. Plus, in addition to taking a percentage of his opponent's fight purse in exchange for allowing the bout to proceed, Saragih will also go home with an extra $50,000 after getting awarded Performance of the Night honors.

Opponent misses weight
Saragih's opponent Lucas Alexander missed weight for their lightweight bout Saturday at UFC Vegas 82, MMAFighting.comreports.
ANALYSIS
Saragih was originally scheduled to fight Jesse Butler, but Alexander was named a replacement fighter in early November. Assuming the two sides are able to reach a new agreement, the fight should go on with Alexander facing a purse penalty.
