UFC newcomer Takashi Sato took on longtime veteran Ben Saunders in the featured preliminary card bout of tonight’s (Sat., April 27, 2019) UFC on ESPN+ 8 from the BB&T Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
In the end, it was a wildly successful UFC debut where Sato secured a huge win. However, it wasn’t without some early adversity when Saunders wobbled him early with a right hook:

Sato soon found his groove in the second round, however. He dropped Saunders with a perfect left hand down the middle, swarming with a vicious barrage of elbows to earn a brutal stoppage.
