Bounces back with early sub Bashi defeated John Yannis via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:39 of Round 1 at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday.

Impact Bashi entered this matchup as a betting favorite upwards of (-1150), by far the largest on the entire card, going up against an opponent who was making his UFC debut on roughly one week's notice. The end result was as anticipated. Bashi didn't absorb a single significant strike in this matchup. He landed a big hook early that eventually led to a single-leg takedown. Bashi then took Yannis' back, secured the body triangle, and Yannis was tapping moments later. It's a great bounce-back effort from Bashi, who was coming off his first career loss against Christian Rodriguez back in January. Perhaps the UFC will now look to re-book him against Francis Marshall, his originally-scheduled opponent.

Not fighting Saturday Bashi will not fight Francis Marshall at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday, UFC.com reports.

Impact There is a problem on Marshall's part, and the UFC has opted not to find an immediate replacement for Bashi, pushing his next fight back further. He dropped his UFC debut to Christian Rodriguez and is clamoring for a second chance at an impressive win in the promotion.

Taking on Marshall Bashi will face Francis Marshall in a featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 108 on August 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Bashi is coming off a loss in his UFC debut, falling at the hands of Christian Rodriguez via unanimous decision. He'll look to bounce back and pick up his first win in the promotion against a fighter in Marshall who is slightly more experienced in the UFC with five fights under his belt. Marshall is also coming off a loss, so both fighters should be hungry.
