She's kind of cute in a "if you make a wrong move, i'll beat you to death" kind of way.

Joking.

That shooto card is look good. I wish we had decent access to shooto here.

Looks good. I wonder if Pancrase will be on PPV again??

The girl is cute, let's see if she can fight. She got big balls for a girl, stepping in the ring at 16 years old.

Nakai versus Sato could be fun, in it's own way. Thanks for the update.

My boy Nakakura is in for a tough fight. However, I have faith in him. He's climbed up the ranks quickly and he's been training hard. He hits like a motherf**ker and has slick ground work. It should be an exciting match.
