Differ Ariake Arena - Tokyo, Japan

It was just an exhibition but just like Rocky IV… the match was no joke for the Russian world champ.

The packed Differ Ariake Arena went wild when Fedor entered the ring. Fedor easily man-handled Aoki slamming him to the mat several times with ease.

After getting side position Fedor pounded the mat letting everyone know that it could have gotten bloody real quick.

Fedor submitted Aoki with achilles lock.
