Back in win column
White defeated Dan Moret via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Wichita, Kansas.
ANALYSIS
It didn't come easy, but the victory snapped a two-fight losing streak for White and almost certainly saved his job. "The Spartan" did a nice job of rebounding following a slow start to the bout. He landed three successful takedowns (although he did nothing with his positional advantage) and finished with a 64-23 edge in total strikes landed. White is a tough, physical fighter, albeit one with significant flaws. He is now 4-5 in his first nine fights with the company.

ANALYSIS

After that, Miller was all over him on the ground with strikes. As White tried to defend, Miller locked in the rear-naked choke and finished the fight.
