Tonight I am going to have another go at streaming M-1 Challenge, this time from Brazil. As usual, there is lots of talent on the M-1 Challenge card. I am not too familiar with a lot of fighters on here, but a few I do know.

Jason Jones on the Benelux team is a very stron fighter and he always puts on a good fight. Also look out for Hacran Dias on the Brazilian team, he is still undefeated and even though I only saw his draw, it was enough to tell that he is a very talented and technical fighter.

The teams squaring off tonight are:
Bulgaria vs. Benelux
Russia Legion vs. Germany
Brazil vs. Team Imperial

1 fighter struggled with making weight, Eduardo Pamplona was .6kg over and I am not sure if there was a conclution.

3/26 Pancrase - Shining Tour 2 - RESULTS

Just came home from an event I had very high expectations for. It didn't turn out as well as I thought... The fights were not as good as the names on the card, but that happens some times. In the mix though, were some fights that did live up to my expectations.

Alavutdin has cemented his reputation as a KO machine! This guy is ploughing through the Pancrase ranks. Again winning by KO in less than 90 seconds. Also Sandros were impressive in his win, extending his winning record to 11-0. He also earned his shot at the Pancrase title with that win. Kenji Arai vs. Shinsuke Shoji was also a very entertaining fight, this time Shoji came out a clear winner.

I was really looking forward to seeing Takeuchi fight, but the most exciting thing about his fight was the entry. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Marlon Sandro Def. Miki Shida by KO, Round 2 4:19
Izuru Takeuchi Def. Hiromitsu Kanehara by decision 3-0
Gadzhiev Alavutdin Def. Hikaru Sato by KO, Round 1 1:20
Takafumi Ito vs. Hacran Dias Draw
Shinsuke Shoji Def. Kenji Arai by decision 3-0
Michihisa Asano Def. Yuichiro Shirai “Yukito” by decision 2-0
Ichiro Kanai vs. Takenori Sato Draw
Tomoyoshi Iwamiya Def. Asaki Honda by decision 3-0
