Hello Japan!

With world-ranked lightweight Shinya Aoki on David Gardners back, the American made the mistake of waving to the crowd and yelling Hi, Japan instead of defending against the choke. Aoki (20-3, 1 NC) seized the opportunity and cinched the rear-naked choke, at once punishing Gardner (16-11) for his antics and coaxing the tapout 5:58 into the first round.
