Sato with some aggressive grappling here. He's looking for submissions here, rather than waiting for the opportunity to counter.
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Sato working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle. He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work? He's given up a good position looking for it. Shirokawa looks OK. Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Sato! Submission of the night perhaps?
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Oaki Sato!
Oaki Sato decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way. |
