Referee for this bout is Kenichi Serizawa. Haga puts a flurry of punches in Saito’s face, prompting the smaller Japanese fighter to return fire in kind. Once Saito has had it with being punched in the face, she shoots in for a takedown. Haga stuffs the takedown and takes Saito’s back, wrapping an arm around her face for the rear-naked choke. Saito defends by tucking her chin.

Jimmie Collin
Mazovia Open 2010
Collin has recently been among the best in the middle weight sets at European scale.And when European standards are top in the world there is a strong level you are talking about. Most people who have seen him fight has been impressed by his calmand cool fighting style. Many battles have been quickly settled, after a well-placed technique. For example, a knee to the head.. Collin has for many years, slowly but surely expanded the circle to end up on the world arena. He has met with the very best such as Valeri Dimitrov, Marius Ilas to name a few. During the World Cup in 2009, Jimmie Collin possibly one of the better performances he has had. Just to qualify for World Cup requires a lot.
