Heavyweight Augusto Sakai scored an important win at UFC Vegas 70. Paired up against Don’Tale Mayes, the Brazilian came into the bout on a four-fight losing skid, and was in dire need of a victory in order to stay with the promotion. Once it was all said and done, the 31-year-old was relieved to walk out of the cage with a unanimous decision win and a chance to start over.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Sakai explained just how much pressure he was feeling ahead of the fight and all the sacrifices he had to make during training camp.
