Fugofugo Yumeji & Yoshihiro Takayama vs. Kenji Takeshima & Johta, EXIT 1/1/2015
Wow, Takayama enters the underground! This was raw, unfiltered brutality. I‘m pretty sure the only plan they had going into this match was that they were gonna beat the fuck out of each other for 15 or so minutes and call it that a day. And that they did. Takayama wasn‘t in the match much, but Fugo absolutely held up his end. He just had one brutal exchange after another and his chemistry with JOHTA was Ikeda/Ishikawa esque. You can tell these two loved killing eachother. Johta blasted Fugo in the face with some crazy enzuigiris and Fugo, as usual, unloaded his headbutts. There was a fun moment where Johta went to headbutt Fugo only for Fugos hard skull to fire back on him. Takeshima was also in this match and mostly ate punishment aside from trying to grapple here and there. And he just got slaughtered by Takayama for the finish, just ending a bloody mess. That said Fugo is looking awesome in these EXIT brawls.
Fugofugo Yumeji & Sanshu Tsubakichi vs. Munenori Sawa & Keita Yano, EXIT 8/24/2008
More Fugo mixing it up with BattlARTS youngboys. The confines of the EXIT chain ring really force Yano and Sawa to cut out their bullshit and they just have a short violent match. Lots of neat mat brawling sections here, Fugo and Sawa are especially intense opposite each other, forearm across the face, throat chokes etc. Fugo and Sawa beating on each other is great. Once again, Sawa learns to respect the dome. The finish is great as Fugo has an armlock cinched in and Sawa tries to break it up but can't because Fugos skull is indestructible. Another really good little match.
Fugofugo Yumeji vs. Nyudo, ?/? EXIT
About 90s seconds of both guys trading ear drum shattering slaps. Yumeji hits the big headbutt and it's over. Some kind of point has to be made about Fugo turning up simplicity and violence to the maximum with his project.
