The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Singapore proved to be a boon for favorites, with one notable exception.
Former Shooto Pacific Rim champion Yuta Sasaki submitted Justin Scoggins with a rear-naked choke in the second round of their preliminary flyweight clash at UFC Fight Night “Holm vs. Correia” on Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Sasaki entered the cage as a +420 underdog, per BetDSI.com, and brought it to a close 3:19 into Round 2.
For more than a round, Scoggins (-550) lived up to the expectations of oddsmakers.
