Vale Tudo Japan: VTJ 2nd gifs and results

MMA in Japan is still something of a void. After the fall of Pride, the demise of Dream, and the shattering of Sengoku a gap has been left for Japanese fighters looking to take their skill to the next level. One FC has stepped up in Singapore, but there's still room for growth. Throwing it's hat into the ring is Vale Tudo Japan. Initially a promotional stepping stone for Rickson Gracie in the early 90's VTJ has returned to bring together Japan's best talent from it's oldest promotions.
