This event somehow slipped under my radar and happened on July 1.
Pancrase 155 champion Takasuke Kume was soundly beaten/KO'ed by journeyman Anton Kuivanen. Kume was 5-0 in Pancrase up to this point, had not lost since 2014, and was coming off a brutal KO win over UFC yet Tokudome.
Top JMMA prospect Takashi Sato lost a war against TUF Brazil 4 winner Glaico Franca, as Franca becomes the new WW champ of Pancrase. (Franca was cut from the UFC after losses to James Vick and Gregor Gillespie.)
Otherwise, Yuya Wakamutsu finished Mamoru Yamaguchi, likely spelling the end of Yamaguchi's career. Wakamutsu and Ikeda both belong in the UFC at this point.
