Super-Fight. Shinya Aoki vs. Arnaud Lepont.
The stand-up that didn't last long.
Below image was a nightmare position when Aoki passed from Lepont's half-guard to secure a full mount. Lepont tried to escape but can't move his legs as Aoki already caught his legs with scissor hooks. I saw this through my viewfinder, and I had this image in my mind on my way home after a great fight night. Also ringing in my head after the fight, was Aoki's "Baka Survivor" walkout song.

He already called out Boku for the title shot at the in-cage post-fight interview.
