3/28 Shooto - Back to Our Roots 8 - PICTURES
Saturday, 29 March 2008
I was a little late and got there just in time for the Hioki vs. Yoshida fight. Hioki was confident as he entered the ring.
Hioki was never really threatened in this fight. He used his reach when standing.
And on the ground he was too strong for Baret this time.
He was able to mount Baret Yoshida several times
On one occation he had an arm-bar attempt that looked like it would end the fight, but Baret Yoshida showed a lot of skill in getting out of it.
In the end, it was ground and pound that settled it for Hioki, an impressive TKO victory.
Ueda vs. Okazaki was the first title fight of the night.
Ueda was able to get the take downs, but unable to end the fight.
In the end it was Ueda by decision.
The main event saw champion Tamura take on Kadowaki.
This was a very close fight.
Kadowaki was able to get the take downs, but Tamura's guard was very good.
On a couple of occations it looked as if Kadowaki was going to get caught in some kind of submission, but he was always able to escape.
Kadowaki got the decsion and is the new Shooto Lightweight champion.
And it was a very popular victory.
