[1993-08-13-UWFi-Fight of Champions] Kazushi Sakuraba vs Steve Nelson

[superkix]

Both guys make their UWFi debuts and Steve Nelson is thankfully much more aggressive than your average UWFi white dude, with his open hands, kicks, and matwork, whereas Sakuraba is Sakuraba but a baby. He maneuvers well enough on the ground, blasting Nelson with plenty of mid kicks when he can -- at one point, he keeps clipping Steve with kicks and it takes awhile for him to fire down. I liked Sakuraba heel kicking his way to reversing a leglock but in the end, Nelson grabs the double wristlock for the submission. A fun enough opener/double debut.
