Sakurai came out right away with a right hook but Aoki ducked and got a single leg for the take down.

Sakurai got into a butterfly guard with Aoki looking to pass...Sakurai was able to roll Aoki with Aoki holding

on to Sakurai's left leg while Sakurai semi-stood and landed four right knees to Aoki's head.....as Aoki

slumped back against the bottom rope, Sakurai landed five pinches to a defenseless Aoki until the ref

jumped in to stop the bout.
