Is the next Pequeno´s fight to defend the title?
It is near, but they didn´t announce the TBA yet.
Takaya surprised everyone, and now he is ranked at first place.
Just wondering how many more fights Roque will have to face until he reachs the position to fight for the belt. He is in second place now.
After his last fight, no word from Shooto about his next fight.
I really don´t understand how they match fights.
Pequeno's scheduled fight for HI will not a be title fight...
He was selected for the card because it is meant to be a BIG event and they wanted champs on the card (basically for value to Japanese TV)... Leading up to this card, there has been no push for title bouts from any camp so him and Shaolin are just looking to stay busy and spice up the card with their presence.
As for Takaya... he drew with Roque, then defeated Paling by TKO (who was then the number one guy). So he passes Roque in the standings...
In matching bouts, you need to get both parties, the ISC and the promoter all on the same page.
As for the TBA next to Pequeno's name... It has to do with the fact that his visa has not cleared yet.
So they already have a name, uh?
no... I meant Pequeno's visa (they have a name picked out, but they are not saying anything).
This problem with visa is boring.
One black belt of our team was invited to teach in Canada. But since he is a single male, they refuse his visa.
Did you know that Canada and USA share files on customs?
