I think Takefumi Sakata is slowing down!!

[Violent Demise]

He scraped past Shingo Yamaguchi in his last fight,drew the fight before that and appears to have slowed slightly. I don't blame,an AWESOME trilogy v Parra(where has he gone?) and 2 SUPERB fights with Vazquz(where has he gone?>) seem to have taken it out of him. I want to see him beat Naito,whom he has a draw with from earlier in their careers.

Parra now fights as a Bantamweight. Which is a good thing for him cuz he needed to move up. There's no doubt his struggles to make weight cost him in his 3rd fight against Sakata.

Yeah I agree,the weight killed him but man Sakata was brutal,those bodyshots were hard! Has Parar fought there yet though? I heard he moved up after the 3rd fight with Sakata,yet I don't think he's fought yet? Or maybe once,untelevised? I can't remember!

He fought once. Beating some bum. He needs to fight more often. Parra is an outstanding fighter. But he needs to be active.
