[8.0] "Pretty good show, the last three matches were good to great with Kanehara vs Ilyukhin being the best. Valentijn Overeem vs Kenichi Yamamoto (***1/2) - Fun shoot that saw Overeem boss Yamamoto around, but Yamamoto fought through several vicious knees. Grom Zaza vs Bob Gilstrap (NR) - Shoot that was heavily clipped on the commercial tape. A bit boring. Naruse vs Thonhauser (***) - Not really that exciting, but a solid exhibition for Naruse that saw Thonhauser exhaust all his points with rope breaks. Ilyukhin vs Kanehara (****3/4) - Underrated RINGS match that was really good and saw some really technical grappling and counterwork on the mat. Kanehara was one of the best during this period and Ilyukhin was no slouch either. Kohsaka vs Zouev (****1/4) - Pretty fun match with Kohsaka and Zouev trading some slick submission attempts. Flying armbars galore. Also some nice counterwork here and there. The finish was near the ropes, which didn't make much sense. Tamura vs Vrij (****) - Fun sprint which saw some really stiff striking from Tamura and decent work from Vrij."
