Beyond the Octagon, Part 2: TUF vet crowned King of Pancrase

A former Ultimate Fighter contestant makes good in Pancrase and the saga of Minowaman continues.

Our coverage of last week's regional action continues, with veterans from the UFC and PRIDE turning in mixed results.

At Pancrase 270 out of Tokyo, the twelfth season of The Ultimate Fighter was well-represented, with alumni Nam Phan and Andy Main squaring off for the organization's featherweight title.

Phan (21-15, 2-6 UFC, 0-2 Bellator, 1-1 Sengoku, 0-2 Strikeforce) advanced to the seminfinals of TUF 12, where he lost a split-decision to Michael Johnson before making his formal UFC debut.
