Rizin Fighting Federation 1, Day 1 Shinya Aoki unsurprisingly made quick work of Kazushi Sakuraba when he picked up a first-round TKO victory in the main event of Rizin Fighting Federation 1: Day 1. After 10 finishes in 11 fights leading up to the special attraction headliner between the two Japanese MMA standouts from differing generations, Aoki (39-6) capped the show in dominant fashion when he outclassed Sakuraba (26-17-1) on the mat for the dominant win at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. It was one-way traffic for Aoki from the opening bell. He scored a takedown early in the fight and put Sakuraba in a desperate and defensive shell. He pounded the 46-year-old with punches from mount and back control for several minutes.
