Fighting in the land that made Wanderlei Silva a legend, his prize pupil Luiz Gustavo (9-0) remained unbeaten with a devastating stoppage of Yusuke Yachi (20-7). The contest served as the main event of Sunday’s Rizin FF 12 event, which streamed via online pay-per-view from Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Gustavo found early success with his aggression, punching away and driving forward before pushing inside and bringing his foe to the canvas. Yachi battled his way back to the feet and actually reversed the position, sliding around to his opponent’s back and looking to control. However, Gustavo wouldn’t stay there, working his way free and resuming his striking attack, where he seemed to control the action until the end of the frame. The pace remained high in the second, with Gustavo certainly the aggressor
