Sengoku 4: Pavel Nastula vs. Yang Dong Yi

By Jim Murphy August 24th, 2008

Should be an entertaining fight…Nastula has insane judo skills. Once again, our usual video feed is down and we’re working from a backup audio feed. It’s got to go through a translator and then to us, so we apologize for not having our usual detail.

ROUND ONE:

Both fighters obviously looking takedown. Yang’s takedown defense so far has been kicking the judoka in “the family jewels”. Kick to the cup and the ref gives Nastula a moment to recover. Fight resumes and now Yang lands a knee to the groin. Yang gets yellow carded for his “kick in the balls” takedown defense tactics. Fight resumes now with no real action thus far except a kick and knee to the gonads. Round in its last minute with nothing more really happening–Nastula by default so far.

ROUND TWO:

Yang quickly takes the judoka down and is working in his guard. He doesn’t look comfortable dealing with the ground and pound, which leads us to believe that he’s been working more on his judo and less on his MMA. Nastula tries and armbar but Yang easily escapes. Nastula now complaining to the ref that–surprise–his groin hurts. Fight is now being waved off, we’ll wait for the decision. Guessing it’ll be a ‘verbal tapout’ or a TKO loss for Nastula. Ref saying that when he called ‘break’ after the armbar attempt that Nastula didn’t get up, and then started to complain about his groin. Very sketchy decision, but it appears like it’ll stand.

YANG DONG YI WINS BY TKO
