Lister won by unanimous decision. He looked real good in the first two rounds, nearly pulling off several submissions, but Sasaki kept escaping and near the end of round two, he caught Lister with several good shots and looked close to knocking him out before the horn sounded. Sasaki opened round three with a good flurry, but he gassed and Lister, who was gassed at the end of round two, managed to get one final takedown and just held on for the last minute or so.
He wasn't that happy with his performance and said he'd be in better shape the next time...he cut from 210 down to 185 for the fight and it definitely had an effect on his stamina.
Do you train in MMA, Lou? If so, how long?
I started taking BJJ classes a month ago and have been taking Muay Thai since the beginning of the year.
