They absolutely should count on MMA records. It's bullshit.
Kikuno knocked out 6 dudes for fucks sake, it's a real fight with KOs and submissions allowed then it's MMA.
Pancrase didn't have punchesThey seem to change the rules every event. They limit groundwork to 15 seconds. In the past chokes weren't allowed at all. They have ring outs. 3x3 minute bout structure.
Lollllllll The Titan!!!!Ambriz is always up for a loss, just doesn't want it on his record anymore
If you want live moat fights then dig into your pockets a bit
Tanikawa is also starting up some kind of restaurant next month that features live fights
Kevin Souza vs kikuno was a fuckin crazy ass ko. Boxer/mma vs karate. I bet it was nice feeling for kikuno to revenge a brutal ko loss when he got ktfo by Souza in the UFC.
Ugh. Why couldn't they just book Chris Barnett to bludgeon Suzukawa again?

If you want to argue Ganryujima is an MMA event, why not Shootboxing also? Combat sambo is closer to MMA but those aren't counted either.
I'd just take it for what it is. I don't think the fighters are worried about not getting credit for their wins.
Shootboxing is also reflected in most pro kickboxing records, as is muay Thai, as are many kickboxing competition that use leg pads. Kickboxing rulesets vary wildly but all are legit.Shootboxing isn't even fought in MMA gloves though? Also love that Haim photo. Miss that guy.
Agreed. They list old fights with dudes in gis and stuff like Draka. Why not this?Shootboxing is also reflected in most pro kickboxing records, as is muay Thai, as are many kickboxing competition that use leg pads. Kickboxing rulesets vary wildly but all are legit.
MMA rulesets vary wildly, just because a certain ruleset is accepted by some state athletic commissions in nowhere, USA...doesn't delegitimize the various rulesets around the world either.
Sherdog should add ganryujima fights.
