[2010-09-26-BattlARTS] Munenori Sawa vs Kyosuke Sasaki

[superkix]

These two had been feuding through the last half of 2009 so I wanted to see them go all out and...well, they kinda get there by the end of it. After a little comedic exchanges, Sasaki starts targeting the leg and countering a lot of Sawa’s offense with leglocks and kneebars. Really cool work from Sasaki but the end is where the violence definitely escalates, as they start slapping each other and than straight up punching each other in the head, with Sasaki busting Sawa open with a shot. Sawa’s kicks are nasty toward the end and he's able to cinch in the grounded octopus for the win.
