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.

Rick Hawn and Pat Healy The Titan FC 35 main event originally featured a lightweight title headliner between Pat Healy and No. 1 contender Rick Hawn . Healy missed weight, though, and was stripped of the title, and therefore the championship was only on the line for Hawn. Hawn (20-4) used the fact Healy (32-21) missed weight against him when he pushed a hard pace over five rounds to take a razor-thin split decision and win the organization’s vacant 155-pound title in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed headliner at Clark County Fairgrounds Event Center in Ridgefield, Wash

Felipe Efrain When Felipe Efrain started his career, his mother had never been to fights. He began with boxing and quickly moved in muay Thai.

But he learned early on about one of the things he needed at each fight. “My mother had never seen (fights), and after that she never stopped going to my fights,” Efrain wrote to MMAjunkie in an email. “Now it is my lucky charm.” She’s been lucky, indeed
