"Kid" Yamamoto, the Japanese star who was once among the best mixed martial artists in the world, made his debut inside the Octagon Saturday night against Demetrious Johnson at UFC 126. But the 33-year-old Yamamoto isn't the fighter he used to be, and he had no answer for the speed and impressive takedowns of Johnson, who won a one-sided unanimous decision.The first round was fast-paced but not exactly action-packed, as both fighters were careful to keep their distance in the early going. Johnson showed off better speed and impressive takedowns, getting Yamamoto to the canvas three times in the second half of the first round, and that was enough for him to win it, 10-9.
