With this win, Yoshiaki Matsuda has won Block A, but Ariwa secured his position as a semi finalist with wins over Higuchi, Fujimoto, and Ohmiori.

Ariwa spoke at length about his opponent in Jun Kobayashi in the semi finals, calling him a strong pro-wrestler, but Ariwa promised to show off his “serious” side, and would run through Kobayashi like a truck in route to tournament victory!

FREEDOM ROAD SEMI-FINAL ~ Jun Kobayashi vs Takayuki Ariwa [CRIMSON]

C-1 Heavyweight Champion, Goro Iijima commented on President Mimura’s concept for his challenger on 10/13 outside of a bar in downtown Tokyo where Iijima has stayed since the Korakuen Hall event resting…Iijima welcomed the idea of a brand new challenger for the C-1 Heavyweight Championship…but only because it would be an easy defense for him! Iijima welcomed anyone to compete for the title shot if they were eligible, as there wasn’t a single man in CRIMSON with the courage and skill needed to defeat the “Disorder King”!
