Kazuo Misaki vs. Mike Seal

22nd ranked middleweight Kazuo Misaki(22-11-2) will face Mike Seal(13-13-1) at Sengoku’s year-ending show.

Misaki is returning to the ring after an all-out war with Sengoku middleweight champion Jorge Santiago. In that fight, Misaki seemed to be in control and on his way to his biggest win in years, but Santiago won the war of attrition as Misaki’s conditioning faltered in the fight’s final moments. Misaki is one Sengoku’s last remaining stars and it looks as if they are trying to rebuild his career considering his opponent, Seal, has only fought once in the last 3 years, and that fight ended in a loss. Misaki’s heart will never be questioned, and it’s a shame that he’s faded into anonymity on the Japanese fight scene.
