Masakazu Imanari Cranks That Soldier Boy.

Finally, video of DEEP Bantamweight Champion and submission sky-lord, Masakazu Imanari's bout with Justin Cruz has finally surfaced. The online community has been murmuring about the omoplata/facelock submission, calling it an 11th hour candidate for submission of the year.

Imanari pulls guard and immediately transitions from rubber guard and into an omoplata attempt which Cruz blocks with his base, stuck, Imanari contemplates a toe hold (I think) and then proceeds to blast Cruz's elbow joint with elbow strikes, posts up on his right hand and gets a hold of Cruz's face and attempts to rip Cruz's head off, he rides his hands down to more of a conventional neck crank to finish the submission.

The facelock attempt was reminiscent of the Crippler Crossface, made famous by notable mass-murderer and psychopath Chris Benoit.

It must be noted that post-fight, Imanari used the trophy he won as an extension of his penis and pointed it at the ring girl or perhaps at Nippon Top Team's androgynous starlet, Shinya Aoki.
