Shinsuke Yamanaka and Akira Yaegashi put the world on BLAST tonight

I don't see how it makes sense for him to do it. I also never check ratings, so maybe if it makes a lot of money. I think it did pretty good ratings since it was Japan's first unification fight.

Ioka getting some buzz around him. Think he'll move up to challenge Yaegashi again? I don't see how it makes sense for him to do it. I also never check ratings, so maybe if it makes a lot of money.

It's a great time to be a fan. There is so much talent in Japan and we're finally at a point where everyone has the opportunity to watch it. Ioka getting some buzz around him. Think he'll move up to challenge Yaegashi again?

That was a quality defense . Japanese fighter dominates and defend his title against a quality opponent he still considered a paper champion but if an American fighter or fighter from the Americas defended his title against this guy or anyone he would be praised this crap has been going on for too long This is a golden age in Japanese sports and are fighters will get the recognition they deserve .

The angle I saw at first I thought it was a body shot. Guess it was a legit snipe.

That was quick. Yamanaka needs to step up the opposition.

1 punch ko !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want that in gif form.

YEEESSSS Yaegashi knocked that cunt down I he kinda has to since this guy was pretrnding to be low blowed the whole fight and which lead to Yaegashi getting 1 point penalized that round.

Yaegashi looks to be in control. Did I miss the Hasegawa fight? It was on a non-televised portion, but yeah Hasegawa made extremely quick work of Camargo

This fight is good, but it's almost a circus at the overreacting that's going on.

So far this fight is pretty good as well for the stream

Hozumi Hasegawa is back baybeh

Watch Yaegashi get robbed again tonight. I'll be able to catch this on my ride home. Lets get it RBR thread.

There should be more coverage of the bouts from Japan here. They got some good little fighters.

It had pro wrestling, Judo, Karate, Kickboxing, a ton of fighting stuff like demonstrations and new gear coming out, and then they topped it off with an MMA card. It was pretty ridiculous. That's bang for your buck

Jesus christ....18 hour? I'd be one of the people showing up late... and that's 4 hours before the main. By 18 hour do you mean of fights or just build up for the start of the event?

Yeah, New Years shows are a completely different animal. New Years is a big deal in Japan and events will get more TV time. Sengoku (The defunct MMA promotion) did an 18 hour program.
