Shooto Disco 18 Results

2nd June 2012 – Shinjuku Face, Tokyo, Japan

Another two round fest of potential draws from Japanese MMA 

Bout 1: Jun Nabeshima (1-3-1)  beat Tomoaki Ota (0-2-1) via Knock Out 4:48 Rd 2

Bout 2: Yuta Sato (1-1-0) beat Jun Doi (4-0-0) Via Unanimous Decision

Bout 3: Taijiro Iseki (0-3-0) beat Hiroaki Sakuma (2-8-0) by Unanimous Decision (that puts Sakuma’s losing streak up to 8 in a row I’m sure he will be back again becuause Japanese MMA seems to like to keep fighters working that no other organisation would touch)

Bout 4: Daiki Gojima (1-1-0) Vs Kiyoshi Kitamura (0-1-0)  Majority Draw – Seriously people let’s have a third round!

Bout 5: Itsuki Hiruma (1-1-0) beat Takahito Tomozawa (0-3-2) of course he did Tomozawa does not know what a win looks like – Look out for him again soon!

Bout 6: Takeshi Sato (2-2-0)  beat Tomohiro Hagino (0-1-0) via Knockout 4:13 Rd 1

Bout 7: Taafumi Ato (3-3-0) beat Shuichiro Okumura (2-3-1) by Unanimous Decision

Bout 8: Daiki Gojima (1-1-0) beat Kiyoshi Kitamura (0-1-0) by Majority Decision with so many of these fights going to decision I bet a hell of a lot of these decisions are controversial. I wonder if they have two rounds in Japanese MMA so that those who run gambling syndicates can easily control the outcome. Just a thought, if you don’t like it how about three fucking rounds?

Bout 9: Hiroaki Fujita (0-3-0) beat Komei Okada (6-14-2) vis knockout 2:16 Rd 2

Bout 10: Daiki Takashima (3-1-1) beat Satoshi Inaba (8-6-2) by Majority Decision Yes yet again Takashima takes it to a decision and gets the win – This man cannot win a fight before the final bell rings.

Bout 11: Akinobu Watanabe (6-5-2)beat  Hiroaki Ijima (4-5-2) by Majority Decision

Bout 12: Tadaaki Yamamoto (7-1-2) beat Takeshi Sato (9-11-1) by Knockout punches 1:52 Rd 1

Pancrase Progress Tour 7 Results:

June 2nd 2012 ~ Differ Ariake, Tokyo, Japan

This looks nothing like the card I previewed as listed on Sherdog – For that I apologise but I cannot make head or tail of the Pancrase website, Unless you wanna help us out it’s the best we can do.

I have been on the Pancrase Website and Facebook page but still cannot see the results, they might be there but it’s all Japanese to me literally! So I had to go to Sherdog.com and use what they have, No results for the first four fights so far.

Bout 13: Takumi Nakayama (16-13-5-1) beat Jon Shores (10-0-0) Via Submission due to Rear Naked Choke 2:47 Round 3 (what’s that a third round, see it’s amazing what can happen with three rounds)

Bout 14: Ryo Kawamura (14-6-4) beat Shingo Oyama (13-13-0) Via Knockout due to a Soccer Kick 4:19 Rd 1

(note: as well as fighting for Pancrase Ryo Kawamura is also the Executive Manager of Pancrase although that is due to change see the story below)

The latest news is from Sherdog.com is that the Former Japanese Wrestling Promotion Smash have just completed the take over of Pancrase.

Smash CEO Masakazu Sakai will take over from Ryo Kawamura and it was also announced that both Pancrase and Deep will merge their amateur systems into Japanese MMA License, Standardising weight classes and rules. They will also be looking at staging some cage fights.

It also sounds like the new company is going to try to manage Pancrase fighters and their sponsorships. Not something I am keen on I think fighters should have freedom with their contracts and sponsorships.

I certainly hope we will start to see improvements in Pancrase, let’s start with all fights being three rounders please!
