LAS VEGAS – Augusto Sakai won’t enter the octagon under ideal circumstances, but that doesn’t faze the Brazilian.
The heavyweight returns to the cage Saturday looking to bounce back from a four-fight losing skid against Don’Tale Mayes at UFC Fight Night 220. The fight is part of the main card at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+.
Many would feel pressured by the skid. But Sakai (15-5-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC) is confident he can get past Mayes (9-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and put it behind him.
