11/23 ZST 18 - RESULTS

This weekend is a very busy one, there are 3 events in 3 days and yesterday ZST held their event in Differ Ariake. The card had lots more fights on it, but I have only been able to find the results for the main-card.

The main event was the grappling tag-team fight between Imanari/Tokoro and Yano/Yokoyama.

Also on the card was the Sydney Olympics silver medalist, Nagata vs. the veteran Kotani. I have a feeling that Nagata might leave the wrestling shoes at home next time...

Anyway, for the results:

Main-Event - GT-F (grappling) Tag-Team Final:
Makazu Imanari/Hideo Tokoro Def. Takumi Yano/Daisuke Yokoyama by Decision 2-1

Osami Shibuya Def. Yojiro Uchimura by arm triangle choke Round 1 1:38
