Round 1
Both men circle one another tentatively early on, lobbing leg kicks at one another, Saiga getting the harder of the kicks in on his foe. This all changes when Ito feints as if he is going to shoot a double-leg takedown and launches a wild overhand right that smashes Saiga in the face, dropping him to the canvas.
