Holy frickin' frackin' Scooby! Sakurai AND Lion lose. damn. Wonder if Sak will still be fighting for the DREAM welterweight belt.

The Mach bout was very good. Though my boy lost, David Baron is no joke, with only losses to Per Eklund ( via decision ) and to Gomi. Baron reminds me of me, kind of an old dude who keeps fighting for the challenge of it.

Btw, Mach threw one low leg kick the whole fight. He didnt look very prepared for the guy.

Made a couple of GIFs of the very interesting Lion Takeshi vs. Savant Young fight

As you can guess, Takeshi got a breather and a standing restart after this:

And a pretty slick move near the end of the fight:

Re: Shooto - Road to 20th Anniversary Results

way to go to savant young..... i watched savant a bunch in the IFL and he was always a class guy and pretty decent fighter. As the IFL diaspora spread out to other orgs, i tend to root for these guys. Maybe the IFL can bring him back in at 145 to face Wagney Fabiano...
