[2016-07-03-DDT] Konosuke Takeshita vs Yuko Miyamoto

[superkix]

Easily Takeshita's strongest performance of the year and probably the best KO-D Openweight Title match of 2016. Although you don't have a strong sense Miyamoto is winning this thing, he sure gives Takeshita hell, smartly working the leg in a crisp and effective manner. I loved his elbow drop to the back of the knee. Takeshita did a good job of keeping the submission work relevant. His offense looked really impressive, and I thought the final elbow battle was a lot of fun, where he half mad dogs/half collapses into Miyamoto's strikes before letting loose with a barrage of angry elbows. Good stuff!
