I'd love to see Tokoro and Imanari move over to Shooto and take on the best they have. It's a shame Menjivar has to move up to get a big shot but such is life.
This is just me but I don't think Pulver will fight very often at 145.
Rumina Sato deserves a mention.
hey, wheres JC PENNINGTON? :)
J.C Pennington's record is 11-1...but look at his opponent's records...
overall a total of: 7-23
not very impressive...
and the 2 best fighters he faced had 2 and 3 wins respectively...and against weak opposition
besides that he's a lightweight
******************************************************
Banuelos has faced only 2 name opponents and he lost to both
Banuelos is listed as a Bantamweight
Where is Mike Brown? He is undefeated at 145 having beaten Hominick and Liegh Remidous (spelling)
i have Mike Brown listed but he was listed at a diff weight...check my other rankings
yeah JC is just getting started in his career braddah, but he is a featherweight. HE is my teammate and all of his pro fights are at 145.
ok but his record still isnt very impressive
