He entered the competition with a record of 10 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw before facing Marcos Conrado. He won the fight by TKO and secured a UFC contract thanks to his performance.

Sakai then went on an impressive 4 fight win streak since then, slowly emerging into the UFC heavyweight picture.

The former Bellator fighter has been on a losing skid with TKO and KO losses against his last three opponents. Much has been made about his UFC career so far and Sakai will be looking forward to rope in a victory to stay relevant in the company.
