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.

12/13 Shooto Rookie Tournament Finals

The traditional Rookie tournament finals take place in Shinjuku Face on December 13.

As usual there are some talented fighters. The welterweight final should be very interesting, Matsumoto has won all his fights within the distance and is coming in with a lot of comfidence. As usual the best fights should be in the featherweight and lightweight divisions, it looks that way this year as well.

This year they have added a heavyweight tournament as well.
