The first two days of action. As David Douillet (FRA) looks to become the World Heavyweight Champion for the fourth time, can Shinichi Shinohara (JPN) stop him?
At -72 Kgs Fuming Sun (CHN) is looking to add the World title to her Olympic title. Pavel Nastula is the man to beat in the -95 Kgs. Is there anyone to trouble the resourceful Pole? Will the stylish Korean Ki Young Jeon find anyone that can stop his formidable drop seoinage in the -86 Kgs, and can his team mate Min Sun Cho defend her -66 Kgs title against the formidable Kate Howey (GBR)? And who will replace Koga as World Champion in the -78 Kgs? The French are looking to top the medal table at home and Japanese supremacy is in doubt.
Highlights of over 150 fights, more Ippons than ever before, multiple camera angles and slow motion analysis of all the major moments, make this Fighting Films’ most comprehensive coverage of an event to date.
