12/21 ZST SWAT! 22 - RESULTS

ZST SWAT results from earlier today, SWAT is the lower level ZST fights and this event was held in Gold's Gym South Tokyo Annex. In general, these events put on some good fights with good talents.

Today was no different and the main-event was an interesting fight between 2 fighters looking to make their mark in 2009. Ueda was previously undefeated, but Futatsumori pulled out a strong win with just 3 seconds left in Round 2.

Tamaru showed experience and pulled off a quick win against the inexperienced Takahashi.

Normally, a fight that goes the distance, it is a draw, but due to the tournamanet, some of these fights are judged.

There was drama in the fight between Alliance's Ito and U-File's Hamagishi. Hamagishi was going for a takedown when a perfectly placed knee by Ito split his forhead open. At first it seemed like the win was secured for Ito, but he was not using kneepads, something the regulations require if you are using knees. Ito was disqualified.
