Pancrase- 1998 Neo-Blood Tournament Opening Round.
I started to fight in Pancrase, and that's when the girls' card was in between the guys'[card].
Nearly all mixed martial arts organizations such as UFC, Pancrase, Shooto use a form of full-contact rules
as do professional boxing organizations and K-1.
In the defining bout of his career to date,
he thrilled fans when he defended his Pancrase belt against Yuya Wakamatsu before both men joined
the world's largest martial arts organization.
Like his upcoming opponent, the Pancrase Gym representative has 10 knockouts on his résumé,
but he is far more prolific, and they make up a huge 83 percent of his wins.
This Sunday, 13 October, the Pancrase Lightweight World Champion will face
his counterpart from Shooto as part of a quartet of bouts that match the top athletes from Japan's oldest mixed martial arts organizations in the Circle.
