The grappling match took place Wednesday at the Deep/M-1 Challenge event at the Differ Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The two fighters met in a light hearted event meant to peak the curiosity of MMA fans. The contest was not televised, but video of the event is suppose to be posted by M-1 Global for free on May 4th.
Reports say, that Fedor played with Aoki most of the match, releasing several submissions to move on to other techniques. According to Sportsnavi.com, Fedor even let Aoki put a submission on him to simply power out of it. The match was more of a sparring session and ended with Fedor tapping Aoki out with an achilles lock three minutes into the five minute exhibition.
