Latest From Complete Vale Tudo Access:

One of Shooto's hottest up-and-comers will return to the ring on September 8th.

PUREBRED Omiya's Ganjo Tentsuku will be back at Korakuen Hall for the September 8th card, following his first visit outside of Shooto's confines. On June 11th, Tentsuku stepped into the octagon at GCM's Demolition of Octagon Gear VI, and took a unanimous decision victory over Frenchman Emmanuel "Pythagoras" Fernandez. Now, the 24 year old will compete in his third bout of the year against Paraestra Tokyo veteran Kohei Yasumi.

Yasumi, a seven year Shooto veteran, has not competed in Shooto since a loss to Sweden's Jani Lax in November of 2004. Since then, Yasumi has focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition and submission grappling, as well as fighting a bout in Shootboxing last year. With a level of experience which belies his 27 year old age, Yasumi will look to score a big win over the up-and-coming Tentsuku when he heads back to Korakuen Hall.

Talk about feeding someone to the wolves too soon.

I think Ganjo is a good fighter, but I don´t like he´s lack to finish opponents, I think he can take Shimokawa and continue his winning streak

[paisano88]

I think Abe should have to fight BJ for the right to face mamoru, they shoudl just throw mamoru a can to get him ready for one of those guys.

He stopped being a wild ass brawler when Togashi thoroughly embarassed him. Ever since then, he's become too scared to trade with guys, so he just takes them down and idly pounds them. Dude needs to get someone he can smash in the stand up and get some confidence.

Also, poor Shimokawa. Maybe BJ will forget how to get double underhooks.
