K-1 Max Japan: Hayato vs Nagajima

One of the first matches in the K-1 Max Japan tournament. Hayato is a K-1 Max veteran who has always been just outside of the top 8 of the top K-1 Max fighters. Nagashima is making his K-1 Max debut. He is a champion from NJKF as mentioned in my previous post on the upcoming K-1 Max Japan. He's a big fan of anime/ manga and cosplay. Did you guys see his intros? Wow...only in Japan huh? :) What a wild brawling fighter! Very unorthodox. He is always moving and despite his awkward punches they do connect and they seemed hard. I later found out from a forum that his weird style is because his background is from Nihon Kenpo. Nihon means Japanese, Kenpo is Fist Technique. I'd like to see how his style fare against the more established fighters in K-1 Max. Very entertaining fighter that adds more spice and colour to K-1 Max.
