Check out this finish by Alex Morono, who seems to want every 'TUF' alum on retirement bubble

Apparently it wasn’t good enough for Alex Morono to beat a 15-year veteran of the sport in Josh Burkman. No, instead of satisfying himself with a submission over a competitor on Season 2 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” now Morono wants to reach all the way back to the first season for a fight with Diego Sanchez.

If Morono didn’t come off as such a nice guy, it might almost feel predatory.

At UFC Fight Night 126 on Sunday, Morono (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) needed just a shade over two minutes to drop Burkman (28-17 MMA, 6-12 UFC) with a punch, then submit him with the very same guillotine that’s been Burkman’s own go-to finish for years.

Here’s the video, via Twitter:

And while it’s already borderline depressing to see an aging fighter take a bout on short notice and get wrecked by someone a decade younger, it’s even tougher when that fighter is, like Burkman, now on a five-fight losing streak.

Maybe that’s why it seemed a little strange for Morono to get on the mic in his post-fight interview and call for a fight with Sanchez in his next outing. Sanchez also has fallen on some hard times in the cage lately, with three knockout losses in his last four fights. He’s also almost 10 years older than Morono and in the stage of his career where he could retire at any point, and it would be received as welcome news.

Still, according to Morono, it would be “a dream come true” to “shed blood” in the cage with Sanchez.

Which, OK, that makes some sense. Sanchez still has a recognizable name. And if you’re ticking off veterans of the fight game, it makes sense to add him to the hit list.

Then again, when you just finished beating one guy who should seriously think about hanging up the gloves. Maybe that’s not the ideal time to turn your focus on another guy in the exact same boat.
