Saturday, live from the Shinjuku FACE, Japanese promotion Fighting NEXUS returned with a 26-fight card full of amateur and professional bouts.
The night featured a 50-something-year-old amateur in the form of Taka, a Mongolian knockout-artist in Azjavkhlan Baataryn, who scored a 4-second knockout; Top FC prospect Hyub Chan Oh landing a lethal knee, a ridiculous Area 51 inspired entrance from Daisuke Yamaguchi, and the opening round of the Fighting NEXUS flyweight championship tournament.
The event, per usual, streamed live & free on Fighting NEXUS’ YouTube channel. Unfortunately, it has been blocked due to copyright violation, seemingly stemming from Yamaguchi’s use of the ‘X-Files’ theme song during his entrance.
