Sicilia's slow-ass loopers are the perfect style for Kikuno to dodge and counter. Sicilia goes down in the second (and that's only because he's got a solid chin).
EDIT:: Also, I like that the Japanese fighters that come to the UFC and find out that size DOES matter here are adjusting and dropping down to more "natural" weight classes (maybe 'suited' is the better word because there's nothing natural about fighting 20-25lbs under your walk-around weight, but you get my meaning).
