Fuminori Abe vs. Takumi Saito

[5.0] "We join the match in progress, seeing only about half of the action. From what aired, Fuminori Abe largely dominated with his stiff strikes and submission-based offense. Takumi Saito struggled to gain any meaningful momentum, with his only notable offense being a northern lights suplex. At no point did it feel like Saito was a real threat to Abe. Abe maintained control with his signature kicks and a well-placed baseball punch to the head before securing the victory with his octopus stretch submission, forcing Saito to tap out. 2.5 stars."

[5.0] "This was extremely quick at least on the tv feed and it was perfectly fine, I was hoping for a bit more but it's whatever"

[5.0] "Hard to grade properly, but of what aired, it was fine. Takumi Saito has a good look but doesn't do much in this match but sell for Fuminori Abe. Abe was cool, as always, but this was a nothing."
