[1997-04-22-RINGS] Akira Maeda vs Volk Han

[superkix]

I mean, Maeda at this point in his career ain't producing any classics but against Volk Han, it's hard to have a bad match. Maeda at times is so casual when he's in a submission predicament - he'll casually apply a counter, or when Han finally snaps off the armbar, he struggles in it for a long time but he can't figure out a reversal, won't tap, and finally has no choice but to go to the ropes. Maeda manages some good strikes and takedowns but Han isn't going to lose this one, and after Han knocks Maeda down with some big open hands, he drags him into the middle and taps him with the calf slicer. Perfectly solid match-up.
