Only about four minutes long, which is shorter compared to their match earlier in March and the one they would later have in May. Just like the other two, there's some beautiful matwork here and Kazushi Sakuraba does a good job of keeping pace with Tamura. Also like the first match, Tamura thinks quicker than Sakuraba and this causes Sakuraba some trouble despite being able to get a dominant position on Tamura a few times.

Patience is a virtue. Quick and dirty and weakest of their match-ups but still pretty fun.
