Notable Info

• A match-up that I’ve seen billed as having the most combined MMA experience ever, took place in Pancrase, with Yuki Kondo matching up against Kenji Kawaguchi.  FYI, Kawaguchi ran the Middleweight division way back in the early 1990s.  Kondo made quick work of the 47 year old Kawaguchi, but props to both guys.  Even though it was an “open weight” match, both came in shape, weighing in under 175 pounds.
• Also at Pancrase, top-ranked Mitsuhisa Sunabe dropped from 120 pounds, to the “true” Strawweight limit of 115 pounds and beat #4 ranked Hiroyuki Abe in a 5-round split decision.  Sunabe has dominated 115-120 and I’m hopeful that this division gains respect in the near future.
• Peter Graham somehow lured Mariusz Pudzianowski to England, where he capitalized and pounded him out in the second round.  Though Mariusz has performed respectably in MMA, one wonders if he’d be better off hoisting Atlas Stones.
