Sato was obviously upset with the decision, but the fight was close and Loman was deserving of the win.

Result: Stephen Loman defeated Shoko Sato via unanimous decision

Amir Khan vs. Ryogo Takahashi (featherweight MMA)

It was insane featherweight action between Amir Khan and Ryogo Takahashi across three intense rounds.
