2/27 Shooting Disco 11 "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" - RESULTS

Gutsman Production held their 11th Shooting Disco in Shinjuku Face earlier today.

There are always a lot of young talented fighters on this card, and looking at the results here I think Keita Kono will be one to look for in the future. Ochi is a strong competitor, but Kono remains undefeated.

9/20 Shooting Disco 10 "Twist & Shooto" - Main-Event Announced

The Shooting Disco events in Shinjuku Face are always very popular, and they have some of the best fights. They tend to match up talents rather than spending all the cash on a biggest stars, and it is proving succesful so far. Both in drawing crowds and creating new stars.

This time the main event will see the very talented Yoichiro Sato take on his toughest opponent yet in Yoshitaro Niimi. Niimi has had a "break" from shooto to compete in the HEAT welterweight tournament, but now he is back where he started his career, and where he has done so well.

The co-main event will be Masaaki Sugawara and Hiroyuki Tanaka.

Main-Event:
Middle: Yoichiro Sato 4-1-1 vs. 7-4-2 Yoshitaro Niimi

Bantam: Masaaki Sugawara 8-3-1 vs. 7-5-2 Hiroyuki Tanaka
Fly: Takeshi Sato 8-7-1 vs. 4-4-0 Katsuya Murofushi

4/10 Shooto - Shooting Disco 8 "We are Tarzan!"

It is time for me to catch up on some cards...

GutsMan is putting on another event in their popular Shooting Disco
series. The main event could very well deceide the next challenger to BJ's title. Shooto ranked #2 Ryuichi Miki is taking on the #4 ranked veteran Junji Ikoma. I think it is safe to say that the winner will be ranked #1 next month, since #1 ranked Yuki Shoujou lost his fight against "BJ" on Mach 20.

Other than that, it is a normal Shooting Disco card, LOTS of talented fighters. There should be some very good fights here, these events have had a habit of putting on some of the best fights over the last couple of years.

Main-Event:
Bantam: Ryuichi Miki 8-2-3 vs. 12-9-4 Junji Ikoma

Bantam: Ayumu "Gozo" Shioda 5-6-0 vs. 4-6-1 Shinichi Hanawa
Welter: Komei Okada 5-8-2 vs. 5-3-1 Hisaki "Kotobukimaru" Hiraishi
Welter: Guy Delameau 9-4-0 vs. 3-0-0 Ikuo Usuda
Light: Yuji Inoue 4-4-1 vs. 5-2-0 Naohiro Mizuno
Bantam: Hiroaki Ijima 2-1-0 vs. 0-2-1 Tatsuya Nakashima
Light: Hidenori Nishino 1-3-1 vs. 0-2-0 Toshiaki Hayasaka

Rookie Tournament Fights:
Middle: Yoichiro Sato 2-1-1 vs. 1-2-0 Naoki Hirayama
