Ikuhisa ‘Minowaman’ Minowa
This writer does not need to decorate their records with fancy language to sell the fight; their records speak for themselves. Although peppered with wins and losses, one thing must be said: you can never count either of these two legends out.
Yukisora and Minowaman last faced each other 20 years ago. I’ll repeat that: TWENTY years ago. Kondo took a leglock win that day, but plenty of time has passed and experience accrued since then. What’s more, the bout is scheduled for 3X3-minute rounds, promising high octave, top skilled action from these two fighters who have faced some of the biggest names in the history of the sport.
