Little thread about the best fights and most interesting performances from the last few events in J-Kick.

First fight in K-1 rules for Mutsuki in 8 years and put up a very good performance against a game Rasta. Hoping to see way more of him in the future

Kaito vs Tsukuru Midorikawa.
Kaito is sometimes guilty of adjusting to his opponent level and not show the best of him.
None of that here as veteran Midorikawa isn't the kind of fighter to let himself outpointed easily. Nice back and forth battle.

RISE held their Dead or Alive tournament to designate the next Tenshin challenger, all the fights were very good but the best of them was surely Masahiko Suzuki vs Rui Ebata in Semi.

The other Semi Final. Shiro vs Seiki Ueyama

And the Final

Krush also held a 4-man tournament for the vacant 57kg belt recently, Takahito Niimi and Shuhei Kumura provided some highly entertaining action in the semi Final.

Despite the damage suffered and the energy expended the Final vs Riku Morisaka wasn't too bad either.

Asahisa showed how wide the gap is between him and a solid journeyman like Oiwa. It was Hirotaka's K-1 debut at 60kg after spending time fighting in China.
He enters interesting coversations as the title is disputed between Takeru and Leona next month.

A fun comeback win by veteran Yosuke Morii on the recently revived No Kick No Life event.

In bonus we're leaving J-Kick a second. First fight for Akimoto after a year off and debuting here at 65kg. He narrowly outpoints the former title challenger, it wasn't the most exciting thing but Akimoto is now very close to a shot at the champ Ramazanov.

ONE had fun fights recently Rocky Ogden vs Joseph Lasiri is one of them.
A vintage Andy Souwer performance and a very good good comeback win by Marat Grigorian are worth catching up on today's card too.
