Ryan Janes spoke with MMA Junkie about his in over Andrew Sanchez at the TUF 26 Finale, here are the highlights…

On Needing The Win: “I knew I had to win this one, but my attitude is pretty jovial. It was more like, ‘I deserve to be here and I need to prove it.’ The one before this one was close, I almost had the finish. I finally got out with this one. For me, it was about myself. About proving I deserve to be in the UFC. “I’m one of the best middleweights. One of the best middleweights in Canada. It’s just good to get a win over a ‘TUF’ winner, a tough guy, a known great fighter. So that was the biggest thing for me.”

On Gaining Confidence As The Fight Went On: “If someone doesn’t put me away in the first, I’m not tired: they are,” Janes said. “They don’t have that in the second, no way. So you just – confident, keep doing what you do, push through it.”
