Pancrase: The Forgotten Organization

Because Sasaki is a legitimate contender at 145, right?
He's pretty much exclusively lost to elite guys, and has solid wins over Scoggins, and a one sided beatdown win over Kape.

None of that qualify him as a legitimate contender at 145lbs, which is where Horie beat him if im not mistaken.
Much less when Horie lost to another unranked fighter three fights ago.

Horie looks good btw, but when that's the best Pancrase has produced in about a decade...it shows that modern Pancrase is pretty low level these days. Not a top10 org worlwide, and even within Japan, there are several above.
 
Love to see Shooto and Pancrase make a comeback to the big league.
