If the people playing the drinking game ZP talked about were still awake, they sure ain't after that one!

But the title match made it all worthwhile. Wow, the knockdowns and back and forth, near subs by Santiago and it was the best fight all day out of the almost 20 I saw. :thumbsup:

Wow, amazing fight!

Easily one of the best fights of the year!

i going out there and say . One of The best Fight Ever . that was just crazy .

I would've been pissed if I were Misaki, having the towel thrown in after surviving all that and only 20 seconds left in the fight he was supposedly winning.

Mirage445 · Aug 22, 2010

Yep, on the same token though I think the ref should have stepped in right around that time, Misaki was taking a ton of heavy shots.

night night!

Well Japan has never had the best refs!

So one of the craziest fights of the year?

John8204 · Aug 23, 2010

I don't know if it was a great fight or one of the worst fights of all time and that's what made it exciting.

With Garcia/Zombie I thought I was watching to tough guys prove how tough they were, with Aikyama/Leben I thought I was watching two guy show every skill they have.

Watching Misaki and Santiago make mistake after mistake and fail to finish the fights when both had the chance....I don't know.

Well Misaki's corner threw in the towel!:thumbsdown:

Yeah that is true!:thumbsup:

So gutted for Jeff Lawson, one of europe's finest 145-pounders

Godzuki · Aug 25, 2010

Jeff's got some nice judo throws and submissions, but his stand up needs a lot of improvement. He's definitely better than what he showed in that fight though. Hopefully he gets some more opportunities to fight on the bigger shows. He was too jumpy and over aggressive, and I reckon that could have been down to nerves.

Crazy as hell fight but terrible reffing it should have been stopped atleast 3 times. That was some sakuraba style reffing especially in the fifth.

kantowrestler · Aug 26, 2010

Yeah the first time is always the hardest for a number of reasons!
