1) Masakatzu Imanari & ____ vs. Hidehiko Hasegawa & ________: Tag team grappling bout with fake out pile drivers and shit. Not rated as it clearly is not MMA.
2) Yuya Osugi vs. Shinichiro Tanaka: Literally no clue who either is.
FIGHT: Osugi Split Decision. Osugi wins this, I think, off the back of some really rad judo throws in the first. He does a Crocota tribute after the fight. Sloppy, horrendous standup from both when they exchange. Looks like a slapfight between tweener girls. (0)
3) Kosuke Umeda vs. Yuichi Ikari: Umeda lost on an M-1 card and I don't think his bout was televised. If it was, who cares.
FIGHT: Ikari Unanimous Decision. Ikari can change levels and drop for the shot and Umeda doesn't really do that so he ends up on the bottom. And when he's there, he's not really good enough to prevent Ikari from working, especially in half guard, with ground and pound. Highlight of fight is Umeda getting dumped through the ropes headfirst onto the timekeeper table. (0)
4) Akira Kibe vs. Masayuki Demise: No idea what to expect here.
FIGHT: Kibe Majority Decision. In the clipped action shown, Demise wants to stand and bang and Kibe definitely does not. He chooses to get this fight to the mat where he transitions to dominant positions (ie mount) and throws shots and tries to get a RNC. He's not successful, and Demise is wily enough to often roll out of it. Kibe doesn't have particularly good throws or takedowns and so he doesn't really go anywhere in the sport. (0)
5) Miku Matsumoto vs. RENA: Female kickboxing bout. Miku is the big star here and among the all time great female MMA fighters. But this is kickboxing. Ends as a draw.
6) Yoshihiro "Barbaro 44" Tomioka vs. Takahiro Kajita: Tomioka was positioned as being a top prospect in Japan, but then lost a bunch of meaningful fights to take him to the next level. So, he wasn't one. Kajita is not one of those fights.
FIGHT: Tomioka Submission Rnd 2. Here we see why Tomioka didn't get to the next level - comprehensively outstruck in the first round and for the early stages of the second, Tomioka had no answers. Kajita let him too far inside though and Tomioka dropped and shot the double. That was pretty much all Tomioka really needed to do. He passed to side control, grapevined the head and nearside arm of Kajita in a crucifix style position, then cranked the far arm to get a kimura and tapout. (0)
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Osugi/Tanaka
SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT: Tomioka/Kajita
OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 1 out of 10. Lots of clipping plus the fact that none of the fights were really any good equals bad event. KOTC level stuff here.
D&R Rating: 0% (0/20)
