Shooto been a contender

I really dig this twenty years of Japanese Shooto highlight video. So many great fights. I also really, really appreciate the fact that whoever put this together didn’t use the typical screeching heavy metal (or hip-hop) soundtrack. This is such a cool juxtaposition of image and sound. Very groovy. Oh, and for you Toronto-area readers, that’s Revolution MMA owner/head instructor Joel Gerson dropping the fight-ending armbar on Japanese NHB legend Rumina Sato at the 41-second mark (it also happened to be Sato’s first-ever loss).
