Pulls off miracle submission win
Harris defeated Jeremiah Wells via submission (anaconda choke) at 1:50 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
It's not how you start, it's how you finish. To give you an idea how ineffective Harris was prior to submission, he was credited with five total significant strikes landed in a fight which lasted nearly a dozen minutes. He spent nearly the entirety of the first two rounds on his back and seemed destined for the same fate in the final frame before Wells left his neck exposed on a takedown attempt, and Harris took full advantage. The come-from-behind victory would go on to earn Harris one of five $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening. It hasn't been pretty, but Carlston is now 4-1 in his first five UFC bouts, and his lone setback came against rising welterweight star Shavkat Rakhmonov. Already 36 years of age, Harris will have to keep racking up the wins.

Easy victory in Vegas opener
Harris defeated Jared Gooden via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This will almost certainly go down as the most lucrative evening of Harris' pro career. Not only will he pick up his show and win bonus, but he'll also pocket 30 percent of Gooden's fight purse after the latter missed weight by six pounds Friday morning. After a tight, back-and-forth opening round in which both men had their moments, Harris wisely realized his easiest path to victory would be to lean on his wrestling. He landed 5-of-10 takedown attempts over the course of the final two frames, good for a whopping 9:36 worth of control time. Harris improves to 3-1 in the UFC, with his lone setback coming against top-rated challenger Shavkat Rakhmonov.
