Yarennoka 2007 opening



This was from the Yarennoka event that happened New Years Eve in Tokyo. This was just a little intro basically introducing the fighters that would be fighting that night. Basically this video was broadcast on cable stations (from what I know and if you actually attended the event). After the downfall of Pride being sold to UFC, Japan was left with an empty feeling not having a giant MMA organization of there own so former Pride employees and other important people from other MMA groups came together to bring you Yarennoka. They brought fighters from different organizations as well as a few favorites to put on one of the biggest shows ever.

So a great start for MMA bringing in the new year. If you wondering Yarennoka means "You can do it" Lets hope to a good year of MMA with all the Japanese organizations working together to bring more great shows.
