New Years Eve is the biggest day in television in Japan, and traditionally, the different networks used combat sports, both real and worked, as the ultimate draws. This year the combat sports offerings were down to one – Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye 2013.

The show featured some pro wrestling some kickboxing, Lenne Hardt, a visit by Fedor, and even some MMA.

In proper JMMA fashion, Ikuhisa Minowa beat pro wrestler Atsushi Sawada by hitting him with an overhand right, and then stomping on his head.
