Routed after weight miss
Alexander lost to Jeka Saragih via KO (punches) at 1:31 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Alexander entered as a -550 favorite despite missing weight by a couple pounds Friday morning. He got back to his feet following a ground exchange between the two men and was obliterated by a Saragih right hand that sent him crashing to the mat, forcing referee Herb Dean to quickly step in. A weight miss followed by an immediate loss as a massive favorite is typically a set of circumstances UFC brass has little patience for. Now 1-2 in his first three bouts with the company, Alexander's roster spot isn't secure.

Comes in heavy
Alexander missed the lightweight limit for Saturday's bout against Jeka Saragih at UFC Vegas 82, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alexander is coming off the first win of his UFC career against Steven Peterson in March but came in two pounds over the lightweight limit for Saturday's bout. There's been no word of a cancelation, so he'll likely face a purse fine for the weight miss.
