Ogura/”Sentoryu” Added to Pancrase 8/27 Card
Continue Reading July 29th, 2006
Pancrase’s August 27th card in Yokohama is quickly heating up as it slowly grows to claim the title of Pancrase’s best card in 2006.
Recently added to the card is Masashi Ogura of Pancrase Team Tamakairiki taking on Henry “Sentoryu” Miller, in a super heavyweight bout scheduled for two five rounds. Pancrase is touting the bout as a slugfest as both men are Sumo converts with immense strength in their arms, making a KO victory highly probable for either man.
This will be Ogura’s MMA debut; he was originally scheduled against Anthony Netzler on the June Korakuen Hall card. “Sentoryu” hopes not to continue a losing streak which has amounted to four losses in his last five fights.
Already featured on the card are the deciding bout for the Pancrase Featherweight Championship between Yoshihiro Maeda and Daiki “DJ Taiki” Hata, the second King of Pancrase Heavyweight bout between Poai Suganuma and Kestutis Arbocius, and a potential defense of Yuki Kondo’s Light Heavyweight King of Pancrase title.

There’s been a lot of those “first round draft pick signs a contract” stories in the past couple of days; the kinds of stories you only care about if they involve someone on your team, or if the negotiations get particularly ugly. But one such deal did stand out yesterday. Former Maryland TE Vernon Davis signed his rookie deal with the San Francisco 49ers, and immediately became the highest paid tight end in the league.
