Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day.
This week, we were treated to a Fight of the Year candidate from the storied Pancrase promotion in Japan, and we also take a look at some strong regional efforts from Classic Entertainment & Sports MMA and the Xtreme Fight Night organization.
Senzo Ikeda vs. Yuya Wakamatsu
AL: We’re actually going to start off with one of the last fights of the weekend, a flyweight championship match from Sunday’s Pancrase 293 show in Tokyo between Ikeda and Wakamatsu.
