Click the stars to rate this fight.
Assuncao came out very tentatively, staying at range and seeming to wait for perfect opportunities. He landed takedowns and some ground and pound, but not much. Yagin had a hard time closing the distance against the taller Assuncao. When Yagin got top position or a submission Assuncao was able to reverse and escape. By the end of the fight Assuncao was toying with Yagin and battering him. Yagin had nothing to offer.
