UFC® 196: McGREGOR vs. DIAZ - QUOTES AND SCORECARDSSaggo defeats Salas via TKO at 4:31 of the 1st round Jason Saggo: “I always want to go in there and finish the fight. Salas is a good opponent, it just happened to be my night where my game plan was on. He’s dangerous on the feet, but we were very weary of that in my camp and it’s a huge relief to walk away uninjured and this performance means a lot to me. I heard they announced a fight coming up in Ottawa, Canada and I would love to fight there because I’ve never been there.”
