~ In what felt like Rumina Sato’s retirement fight on Sunday, Team Quest’s Cory Grant pressured the Japanese veteran with multiple throws and glancing head kicks. Sato avoided damage and, after a brief exchange, exploded with a devastating Superman punch that dropped his American counterpart. Sato followed with a quick knee to the head and dropped heavy punches for good measure, forcing the referee to intervene 3:20 into the match. Sato improved his record to 25-14-2.

Soares made the comments in a brief statement.
