TAPE 1203
Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 3.4 hrs (2 DVD)
SENGOKU 3 - 6/8/08 (After 2 so-so shows, Sengoku begins to hit their stride here. This is a
significantly improved show with much better action, albeit with a terrible main event. I've
got a DVD master of the Japanese broadcast so VQ is EX.)
Kazuo Takahashi vs Fabio Silva (Silva should have gotten DQ'ed here as he stomps and kicks
Takahashi after the KO)
Jorge Masvidal vs Rodrigo Damm (Possibly an early stoppage here after a flash knockdown)
Choi Mu Bae vs Marcio Cruz (Incredibly low skill level on display here from both guys. The
finish is a nice triangle choke from rear mount but that also shows the low skill on
display as that would never happen to a good fighter.)
Sanae Kikuta vs Chris Rice
Nick Thompson vs Michael Costa (Thompson does a nice job recovering from a knockdown)
Kazuo Misaki vs Logan Clark
Kazayuki Fujita vs Travis Wiuff
Hidehiko Yoshida vs Maurice Smith (WTF? Maurice Smith? Is it still 1995? Why the hell is
this guy main eventing a big show? I'll tell you why - 3 straight losses for Yoshida,
that's why. Smith had just 2 fights - both wins, believe it or not - in the 7-1/2 YEARS
prior to this one. And a record of just 12-12 coming in. That's how you work a fight
without making it a work. Gimme a break.)
