Fujiwara looks like such a badass here. This is a match built as a battle of Saito’s striking and kicking and Fujiwara’s submissions, and Fujiwara just overwhelms Saito with his badassery. Early on as they’re making their first moves he checks Saito’s kicks and then just explodes with brutal chokes, making great use of Saito’s gi and surely making whoever his judo coach was proud with sweet collar chokes. Saito takes the gi off but Fujiwara then just uses the belt to choke him even more violently, really the whole match is just a sweet Fujiwara showcase, Saito has really nice kicks and body blows, and he busts Fujiwara open with punches to the forehead, which just results…

Hase isn't as smooth as Fujiwara on the mat but I thought he looked good here. I liked the opening exchange for wrist control, and Fujiwara's early frustration. Hase borrowing a page from Fujiwara's playbook as he grinds the forearm and elbow into his face. Fujiwara hamming it up is so awesome. The strikes were fun and Fujiwara's counter work was top notch. I loved how he kept going back to the armbar in the end, with the transition out of the German and then countering the uranage with the armbar takedown. This was a blast to watch, with a little bit of everything.
