The “holiday rush” got in the way of a post going up last night so to make it up to you I come bearing a Mamoru Yamaguchi doubleheader. Yamaguchi is one of those Shooto fighters who it’s a shame more American fans are not aware of. In his career he fought at Flyweight and Bantamweight, winning the Shooto title in both weight classes.
Rather than try to explain why Mamoru is so awesome, let’s take a look at a couple of his fights.
