 The Brazilian lied on the ground for most of the match, but made an excellent usage of defensive guard, throwing upkicks and threatening with submissions attempts.Góes fended away the aggressor Sakuraba and took his back several times, seeking for rear naked chokes, but he was not successful, and almost got caught in an armbar at the second round.The final round saw Góes taking dominant position and being near of another choke, as well as trading kicks with Sakuraba from the ground.
