There is a lengthy history of pro wrestlers crossing over into MMA. From the nascent days of this sport, professional wrestlers have indulged their desire to go from work to a shoot. In this episodic series, I will review fights where pro wrestlers foray into the combat world. It’s like a weird, violent version of IMDB and I am DB (Dylan Bowker). This is Pro Wrestlers in MMA # 7: James Thompson vs Kazuyuki Fujita.
Fujita is a durable veteran who has been active even in recent years. The long time pro wrestler has had one of the more tenured runs for a worker that has forayed into the shoot world of MMA.
