That Satoru vs Darren fight was fking epic ... about to watch Crowcy beat down another king Mo king of the nether realm feeders
that Iranian Greco guy is darn good - Heath still has it - women's fights still kind of lame sometimes ( let them have weapons )
Tenshin is Masato 2nd coming pint sized / multi dimensional
Fedors Russian gang still suck to fight
Bob Sapp vs Any one / thing / himself is the fight which will inspire a generation
Andy Souwer deserves some special rules bouts / 1 round k1 etc
Darren Cruickshank try some k1 rules brah your well up 4 it
Baruto has a pretty decent Sumo history if you check it out ( really good actually ... I think )
Baruto vs Satoru

- Was Cro Cop vs. Mo competitive?
- Does Baruto have anything other than mass and some modicum of athleticism? Fighting skill?
- Does Nasukawa seem like he has MMA potential, or did he look lost in the transitions?

Baruto looked better than expected. Landed a really nice knee in the clinch to start the fight. Didn't look to tire at all as the fight progressed. Also seemed to gain confidence as the fight went on too. By the 2nd he knew that Kohsaka had nothing for him. It was probably the most dominate showing in the tournament.
Nasukawa looked super impressive. I have no idea how he didn't hyper extend his arm getting out of that tight armbar. Once he got the victory he got on the mic and respectively asked to be put on the card in two days. Then Sakakibara got on another mic and they had a respectful exchange. It be like if Mickey Gall got on the mic and addressed Dana White and they gave White another mic and they started debating in front of everybody. It was very WWE/NJPW but something I could get behind for the UFC adopting.
