here is the hype video for The Outsider 13 (Outsider vs ZST)
it will take place on the 11th of October.
I swear i started an Outsider thread before, and i was going to post it there but i couldn't find it....
anyway for those who don't know about the outsider, its "ran" by the guy who ran K1 Hero's, Akira Maeda (the rules are the same as hero's)...and its basically Yakuza MMA!
here is what Enson Inoue (who is involved in organising them) had to say about it:

see the video, as i understand it the guys with ink like Enson are mobsters.
Anyway, this is their biggest event to date, they are really popular so far, with every show being a sell out.
the Outsider vs ZST angle is very interesting.
...mainly because of the vast differences between the 2 organisations, outsider has a mainstream ruleset..sort of whereas ZST:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZST#ZST_Rule
does not.
anyway hopefully this event will be available to watch somehow (when i find out i will post it here), i am looking forward to it, the events are generally very exciting.

here is what Enson Inoue (who is involved in organising them) had to say about it:
"Well, right now the most popular of events here is now the gangster events that they have here, they have over a dozen gangster events that’s happening all over Japan and this is an event, I say gangster event because they let the yakuza, they let the gangsters, they let anyone fight. They actually have guys on that day calling out people out into the ring who wants to try, like a Toughman competition but it’s an organized Toughman competition and a lot of fighters who get into that they really train but there’s a lot of gangsters that just think they’re tough on the street, they get in the ring and they get worked really bad but I think in the next two years the stars that’s going to help Mixed Martial Arts in Japan is going to be from there because these guys"
"Yeah, you know it’s a good thing both ways because not only you are helping the MMA world but you are helping these gangsters realize that you can be proper, you can have values and you know you don’t need to react on your feeling all the time. When we first started these gangster fights there were riots like three or four riots at one event, it was like ridiculous because these guys were still gangsters on the street and that’s all they had is that mentality so when their guy lost they’re running in the ring trying to beat up the other guy, they had no idea what a sport was about, but you know I go to the gangster events, I have to go to one next week, I have to go one the following week, I go to one every two weeks to be a guest and I haven’t seen a riot in the past year about and you know these guys are learning how to control their behavior, they’re learning to understand how the world isn’t about the gangster life."
