Date: Sep 18, 2017 |
Coming up we have a welterweight Tycoon World Grappling Championship rules bout between Yuki Sanada (ranked 10398 p4p, 677 weight class) and Eric Anderson (ranked 3813 p4p, 370 weight class).

In the red corner, competing out of Tokyo, with a TWGC record of 0 wins and 0 losses; Yuki Sanada!
