whats up with the Japanese and their phobia of alphabet titles?


good match, ive been wanting for hasegawa to move up in weight, but this fight will do, its mos def will be held in japan since it makes the most sense, fiscally speaking. WAR MONTIEL!

Yes! I'm surprised this is happening, but I'm glad it was. I'm willing to bet on Hasegawa for those who are interested.
