Powergat:e Gate 2 - Wakatsu vs. Miki

Cobra Kai's Wakatsu vs. Miki from (team unknown) was a solid fight. Good technique all around. Lots of heart. Technical grappling.

Miki (in white) came out firing.

This brought about a yellow card and some time to regroup.

Miki seemed comfortable on the bottom. His guard was solid. Wakatsu showed a good base and was not phased by being in the guard.

Look, a blurry hooker. This must be the harbor. This must be round two.

Vicious, back-and-forth grappling ensues.

Settles for some kind of crack-head control.

DSCF0576

Considers the gogo.

Ends up with the tightest omaplata I have ever seen in MMA.

DSCF0582

Miki's corner cries out that it is nothing. That he can handle it. He remains calm as Wakatsu uses the hold to pound his face.

DSCF0584

Omaplata still locked, Wakatsu tries his corner's suggestion of alternating to the wrist-lock. Miki toughs it out to the bell.

DSCF0589

Great fight. Wakatsu takes it on decision. Respect to both.
