Still searching for first UFC win
Tokkos lost to Navajo Sterling via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Tokkos tapped out to Oumar Sy in less than four minutes in his UFC debut in May. He got another chance here against Stirling and didn't show much, albeit as a +750 underdog, by far the largest on the entire card. Tokkos was credited with three successful takedowns, but did little with his positional advantage and was dominated in the striking exchanges between the two. The end result was another lopsided defeat. The UFC typically gives fighters three chances before moving on, but Tokkos may be an exception. He simply hasn't shown enough to date.

Lands on Tampa card in December
Tokkos is set to face off against Navajo Stirling in a light heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night in Tampa on Dec. 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Tokkos will look to redeem himself against Stirling after losing his UFC debut to Oumar Sy via submission (face crank) in Round 1 on May 18. The 34-year-old holds a record of 10-4-0, and he is 3-2-0 in his last five contests. Unlike his last fight, which he took just days in advance, Tokkos will be able to show off what he can do with a full training camp under his belt versus Stirling.

Quickly taps in UFC debut
Tokkos lost to Oumar Sy via submission (face crank) at 3:43 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Tokkos accepted this fight just days ago and had to log a ridiculous amount of frequent flyer miles just to get to the arena, so he's going to get a pass for a lousy performance against a promising prospect in Sy. That said, it was a very ugly effort. Tokkos gave up a pair of stunningly easy takedowns and and showed very little in terms of mat defending. It will be interesting to see how he performs with a full training camp under his belt his next time out.
