World Victory Road Debut!

On March 5, in Tokyo the inaugural World Victory Road(WVR) event took place. 

Congratulations to Takanori Gomi who TKO’d opponent Duane Ludwig in the first round.  This was Gomi’s first fight since the defeat he suffered against Nick Diaz, a bout which many were dissapointed with the Fireball kid’s performance. 

Also, congratulations to Josh Barnett for finally finding a new home in the WVR and his third round submission of Hidehiko Yoshida via you guessed it, a heel hook.

WVR road seems to be filling the void that PRIDE left, with exciting fights and excellent production, I look forward to future events!
