What’s the scoop on the smaller Japanese orgs? I’ve seen fights from Shooto, DEEP, and other orgs that are frequently just as entertaining as the big stage, and apparently quite prestigious to compete in.
And also rec’d.

I’d hardly call Shields-Kikuchi 1 “must see” viewing. Also, Oishi-Ikeda 3 is one of the best Shooto fights ever and ought to be on there.
