[2011-07-18-FUTEN] Kengo Mashimo vs Seiken

[superkix]

A good sub-ten minute scrap. Seiken's a guy I was unfamiliar with going into this but he's a pretty heavy striker, maybe a kickboxer. I liked the early exchanges, with Seiken overwhelming Kengo out of the gate, and then Kengo settling into the more self-assured bruiser role, swatting down Seiken's wheel kick and stooging around with his weaker follow-up kicks. Then he gets caught in the grill with a second wheel kick and a solebutt to the gut. Mashimo dominated the finishing stretch with suplexes and head kicks -- the kick that buckled Seiken's knee looked especially nasty. Fun stuff.
