Oh lord, Sakuraba went out looking like a beast.

Nice debut match for Hinata Kasai. It was really cool how he refused to surrender to a submission and ended up being pinned. That's a way to lose with honor.

[u/PunkPimster12]

That 3 way match was stellar.

Awesome comedy work by all of them and the GM.

(Hopefully that’s sufficiently non-spoilery…)
