Almost everything ending in the first round, so probably mostly blowout fights.

Even if the competition wasn't at a level where they could truly test him, Tenshin is a monster.

Pretty much as expected. This is Kohsaka's 3rd fight in almost 12 years. He does look to be in great physical shape for a 47 year old though. As for CroCop; it's crazy to realize that at 43 he's on an 8 fight winstreak with all of those wins being finishes. Sure, some of them including today's were blowout fights and he's probably roided up to the nits, but still I don't think anyone expected this back when Mirko was struggling in the UFC. And I'm not even talking about his second run in kickboxing.

The crowd fucking loves Gomi. Pretty rare to hear a whole Japanese crowd cheering a name.

Lol did he say this AFTER losing?

BTW that Shunju girl is pretty cute.

I made myself stay awake to see Tenshin and Rena fight once each, then passed out.
