Former PRIDE star, Daiju Takase, fought in just his second pro wrestling match yesterday and continued to show the ability to adapt to a new style of combat. He defeated another man with MMA experience, Kazuhiro Hamanaka, formerly of Takada Dojo, in just 232 seconds with an armbar. Having adjusted to pro wrestling so well, Takase is hungry for more, and challenged the great Kiyoshi Tamura to a pro wrestling match, as well as top names from Japan's two biggest pro wrestling groups, New Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH.
