There is no way to spin it: 2010 was not a good year for Japanese fight sports. Ratings were at an all-time low, champions lost, stars left and Sakuraba’s ear came off.
As we finally recover from our sleep-deprived states following Sengoku: Soul of Fight and Dynamite!!, lets take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights (and lowlights) from the country that was once considered the Mecca of mixed martial arts.

Yasubey Enomoto promised some “ninja stuff” going into his bout with Kenta Takagi at Sengoku Raiden Championship 14 and he certainly delivered that.
In the second stanza of their Welterweight GP match, Enomoto threw a left straight at the same precise moment that Takagi attempted to deliver a spinning backfist. Seeing an opportunity, Enomoto converted the strike into a bulldog choke to instantly end the trash-talking Takagi’s night.
“Of course, I’ve never practiced anything like that. I wanted to go for a rear-naked but when heard him making choking noises so I just went for the schoolyard choke. I wanted I knock him out. I don’t like when people say stuff like ‘I’m going to send him to hospital’ and this kind of thing. That is not sport. When I got the choke I was thinking, ‘Ah, should I let him go and try to knock him out?’ but I decided not to.”
With his impressive victory, Enomoto advances to the second round of the Welterweight GP where he will face Taisuke Okuno, who upset Nick Thompson with stunning KO.

While we hear reports of financial troubles over in DREAM, Sengoku is moving forward as Director Taro Mukai predicted “slow and steady.”
Sengoku 14 will feature middleweight champion Jorge Santiago granting Kazuo Misaki a rematch in his second title defense, the welterweight and the Asian bantamweight tournaments, Hatsu Hioki returning to Sengoku after capturing Shooto gold and Akihiro Gono will debut at lightweight against a sumo’s friend.
After the break, predictions so good, lets just call them pre-fight results.
