Satoru Kitaoka: | Steve Rattlesnake MMA

“My Pancrase chapter is done. But this is my life, and I think I’ve been leaning on Pancrase. And that is not good. I relied on something I could rely on that I realized that is not good. I am not asking you all to understand. But please support Pancrase from now on. I don’t think I will come to Pancrase shows anymore. I will buy a tuner and watch it on Samurai TV.

From now on, I want to be able to fight in a place, against an opponent, under the conditions I want. Yes I really appreciate the fans’ support but ultimately I must say, I am fighting for myself not for the fans. I didn’t want to finish my career today and that is why I fought hard. My next fight? I want to fight on New Year’s Eve.”
