Once considered one of the top fighters in the world, Sato has suffered a debilitating downslide in his recent career, losing five of his last six bouts.

"Before the fight, I was wondering whether I should fighting aggressively as usual from the beginning, or if I should wait and see what my opponent's game plan was first like other veteran fighters," Sato wrote on his blog shortly after his fight. "The fight started before I made up my mind about my fighting style. My indecisiveness affected my movement and I fought like an amateur. I am more disappointed with my shameful performance than the loss itself."

"I just took another step back from the belt," Sato continued. "I am upset with my loss. I cannot fight for a while since I was defeated by TKO so I'm going to take my time and decide what to do. If I continue fighting, I have to change something, and I need to figure out what to change."
