11/23 Shooto Revolutionary Excanges 3 - "Amazon" Returns!

Some awesome fights are announced for Revolutionary Exchanges 3, they were announced yesterday, but I was not sure for which event. Anyway, the specialist grappler "Amazon" Sugie returns after 4 years away to take on Paolo Milano. This fight will be a highlight for Shooto fans that have been waiting for "Amazon" to return.

I am also happy to see Yoshihiro Koyama return to Shooto after doing very well in Cage Force. He lost his shot at the title against Hironaka and will be looking to bounce back against a very experienced opponent in Tetsuji Kato.

Added:
Welter: Daisuke "Amazon" Sugie 7-6-1 vs. 8-4-1 Paolo Milano
Bantam: Ryuichi Miki 9-3-3 vs. 9-3-1 Masaaki Sugawara
Feather: So Tazawa 8-4-3 vs. 9-7-3 Shuichiro Katsumura
Welter: Yoshihiro Koyama 12-3-1 vs. 19-9-0 Tetsuji Kato

11/23 Shooto Revolutionary Exchanges 3 - Rambaa Somdet Returns!

In case you are wondering, Revolutionary Exchanges 2 is also announced. I am just doing 3 first...

Earlier this year Shooto started their flyweight ranking and they have been changing a LOT. Rambaa Somdet have been at the top of that since the start, but was recently moved down to #2 behind Noboru "Shinpei" Tahara.

Fact is, Shooto needs a flyweight champion. Somdet is announced for this event and I am hopeing this will be a title fight. Somdet fought Tahara in September last year, and won a unanimous decision.

This event is also booked in JCB Hall and it looks like Shooto is looking to have a ver busy end to this year.

In case you are still wondering who Rambaa Somdet is, here are some videos.

Participant:
Rambaa Somdet 6-2-0

Some Videos - Rambaa Somdet

There is not really a lot going on lately... Deceided to pass the time by looking at some videos.

Even though there is not much happening now, there are lots of things to look forward to. One of the fighters I cant wait to see is Rambaa "M16" Somdet. If you havent heard of him, you should check out these videos:

Being a Thai Boxer, you would expect strong kicks.



His last fight was in Shooto "Back to our roots 6", it was an awesome fight and I was really impressed by how good his guard was against Masaaki Sugawara.



Another fun highlight video I have posted before. This guy is entertaining and fun to watch. I have posted this before, but in case you missed it.
