Speaking of self destructing piff...

Kohei Sato vs Fuminori Abe - Zero1 2/2/19
Fuminori Abe vs. Kohei Sato

this was just retarded violence. Basically 12 minutes of these two trying to concuss each other with punches and headbutts, as well as kicking the shyt out of each other. Loved Abe as the feisty underdog, him getting busted open added to his fiery counters - which continue to be dope as fukk no matter how many times I see them - and the overall story. Wasn't that big of a fan of Sato just shrugging every bit of offense he took but he made it up by being a sadistic a$$hole and destroying Abe every chance he got. Watch for the sake of @Ace of the Metropolitan @trick @Scottie Drippin @3Rivers


@TrueEpic08 what did you think of Daisuke vs Hino?

Ayo, someone's gotta explain why commentary was treating this like it was a comedy match or something? Dudes were laughing and acting a fool throughout the entire match while these two were killing each other.
