The near 11-year career of Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto may have come to an end in his home country at UFC 144 on Saturday night, as he suffered a submission loss for the first time in his career to England's Vaughan Lee.
The fight was a fantastically exciting back and forth fight, lasting just 4:29 seconds. Yamamoto nearly sent his fans home happy after rocking Lee early, but he was unable to finish things against the cage.
Then Lee came back and rocked Yamamoto twice, the second time ending with the two of them on the ground. Lee threw up for a triangle choke, then turned it into an armbar that forced Yamamoto to tap.
The loss was the fifth for Yamamoto in his last six fights, while Lee bounces back from a split decision loss to Chris Cariaso in his last fight to get his first UFC win.
