Takashi Sato became the first Japanese fighter to earn a UFC victory this year when he brutalized Ben Saunders with a second-round finish at UFC on ESPN+ 8.
Sato (15-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had some challenges getting through Saunders’ (22-12-2 MMA, 8-9 UFC) height and reach, but once he found his range, the result was absolutely devastating.
