143 Pounds
Yuji Inoue (Gutsman Shooto Dojo) vs. Daisuke Matsumoto (PUREBRED Kyoto)

I clearly have no idea who these guys are but for the sake of my own entertainment I'm gonna go ahead and assume that all Inoue's are related to Enson and that this is one of Enson's spiteful relatives declaring war against "PUREBRED".

His opponent, Ayumi "Gozo" Shioda is the head instructor at Paraestra Hachioji. He is one of Japan's best BJJ players, and is now making his debut in MMA.

And, from Gozo's blog:

holy shit, the Japanese doppelganger of Joe Stevenson

[Zigga-Zagga]

I fucking hate Akagi, hopefully he'll again start on his back and get molested as a reward.

[Shooto Panama]

Ok

What with the picture of Kitaoka and Aoki?

[my sex is artsy]

Ok

What with the picture of Kitaoka and Aoki?

It was in Gozo's blog. I thought it was cuuuute. And more interesting than his pictures of black beans.

That belt is getting jacked^^^

[Charuto]

holy shit, the Japanese doppelganger of Joe Stevenson That's the first thing that came to my mind too. Matt Hughes can go fulfill his Asian fetish now.

[derubermensch]

Being a top-notch BJJ player is good, but your first MMA fight is always shit. Akagi by expirience

[derubermensch]

Also, I'm looking forward to see who the promising rookies this year are

This is the same Akagi who drew Tomihosuck. GOZO TO THE TOP!

Also, I want to see the guy from Mach's school.

[derubermensch]

This is the same Akagi who drew Tomihosuck. GOZO TO THE TOP!

We'll see. I just don't understand how you're rallying around a guy who's never had to go for his flying omoplata while getting punched in the face

Dude. He is nicknamed after an Aikido fucking MASTER. Akagi is going to come charging in, and get caught with a Suwari-kokyuho tiger claw transition to armbar.

[derubermensch]

ok

Sakae Kasuya (K'z Factory) vs. Hiroshi Nakamura (Tokyo Yellow Mans)

Kasyua's name is familiar solely because I remember watching him get pwned hard in a fight from last year. Now who pwned him?

[my sex is artsy]

Wicky and Taniguchi is going to be the fight of the night. GoZo will submit Akagi. Okuno will kill his opponent with his bare hands.

Any other predictions?

Gozo won't submit Akagi

If Tomihosuck can get a draw, GoZo can pull this shit off. He's one of Nakai's bestest students EVA. Fuck Akagi.

*watches BJ murdalize Akagi*

[derubermensch]

Whatev

[EndlessFighter]

im pretty sure if you hate akagi you're a terrorist.he is the shit.he probably wont beat this guy,but it should be interesting.

sakae is pretty good.he is the guy who went for the armbar when he had some dude's back standing.

[Shooto Panama]

You must be missing the fact that Kasuya is 1-0-2.

Well I have pretty shitty memory. I'll rewatch it to confirm

[Zigga-Zagga]

Sweet, only few days untill kid-ADD gets a beating.

I feel that PUREBRED isn't going to have a good day.

PUREBRED hasn't had a good day since KID I do believe

What about the day, through sheer will, Makoto Ishikawa banged out Hiroyuki Abe despite being knocked down just under 700 times in the fight?

I mean they haven't had a star fighter since KID, and before that Kato. Ishikawa had his moment in that fight, undeniably, but beating Abe at the point and time isn't anything to write home about.

[my sex is artsy]

Kato.

YOU HEAR THAT, BLUE?!

[derubermensch]

YOU HEAR THAT, BLUE?!

If Mr.Blue doesn't think Kato was a top-flight 170-pounder early in this decade, he's crazy. The man fought Anderson Silva better than Mach did.

This is going make Blue blow a gasket.

And, since we're trying to make Blue blow gaskets...

Oh, I'd be a fool not to concede that Kato was an elite welterweight at the turn of the century but it doesn't mean I have to like him.

Weight-in was todays, Everyone made weights though Kasuya needed three attempts. Shoujou plans to win with a "Panther Lock" he learned from Katsamura, Taniguchi wants revenge for an amateur loss to Wicky, Akagi was just as weird this time as always in his comments but promises to win this time, and really win this time. All-Japan champion Ayumu "Gozo" who's making his debut also seemed excited and said he would show up in great strenght tommorow.

Akagi 56.0kg

Shioda 55.9kg

[my sex is artsy]

GoZo is a wily and crafty grappler, even if he's never done MMA before. He will submit Akagi.

Also, a Panther Lock? I like Shoujou even more. Great, great hair.

[dy-no-mite3000]

who's bedroom did the weighins take place in?

[derubermensch]

Gozo looks like he's been sucking dick. Akagi looks like Michael fucking Jackson

Shit..again?

[my sex is artsy]

Shit..again?

This is why he needs to get promoted out of B-Class. B-Class having two rounds is stupid. EVERY judge scored it 19-19. One round a piece. If they go to Round 3, chances are someone would've actually won the damn fight.

Here is the problem.

Kasuya think this is fucking ADCC with takedowns and submission. I told him last time "You need to throw punches...at least one" but fucka doesn`t understand.

So next time you go train, punch him in the face. It is the only way, my brother.

Class-A, 123 Pounds:

Ok wait a minute....now I notice Akagi got the Class A license and WTF with Gozo making debut in Class A?

[EndlessFighter]

yeah.a little puzzling about the a class business.whats even more suprising is akagi won.maybe he was just in a slump in his past couple fights.i wonder if this fight was mostly on the ground,seeing as i dont know how akagi and a bjj blackbelt could put up a good stand up fight.,

[krikit]

It wasn't Class-A

Scorecard was 20-17, 20-17, 20-17 MSA = drunk

[EndlessFighter]

thanks for clearing that up.i akagi must have gotten a knockdown or catch.

hey does anyone know what happened to junichi sase? he beat BJ in his debut,had another fight,and them im pretty sure he fell off the face of the earth.,

[Shooto Panama]

It wasn't Class-A

Scorecard was 20-17, 20-17, 20-17 MSA = drunk

With this type of scorecard Akagi must have gotten several knockdowns or catches.

[krikit]

several?

10-8 (one knockdown or catch)
10-9

20-17, he got one.

[Mr. Blue]

With this type of scorecard Akagi must have gotten several knockdowns or catches.

My best guess is that Akagi clocked Mishima between rounds and the Shooto commission decided to dock Gozo a point for the knockdown.

[Shooto Panama]

several?

10-8 (one knockdown or catch)
10-9

20-17, he got one.

OK pwon3d....you`re the man...I surrender to your viking knowledge.

[my sex is artsy]

The Class-A shit seemed weird at first to me, but X-Shooto originally had the score listed 30-27 across the board when the results were first posted, hence why I'd reported it that way. When Krikit said X-Shooto said it was 20-17, I was like "WTF?" I think I was a little TOO quick getting the results.
