Listen "Episode 27 - CCCPPP (IV): Akira Maeda Disgraces Japan (feat. Zoë Boyd)"
Episode Synopsis
David and George welcome back special guest Zoë Boyd, who has been cursed by a malevolent transphobic god to come on this podcast once per year and talk about some of the worst MMA of all time. In this edition, we talk about a couple of occasions upon which combat athletes from the former USSR were brought in to face pro wrestlers in mixed martial arts contests which, typically for the 90s, may or may not be on the level. Can Shinobu Kandori's legendary ego propel her to victory against a 330lb judoka? Can Akira Maeda triumph over an amateur wrestling champion with a career record of 887-2? What do you think?
MATCHES:
Shinobu Kandori vs. Svetlana Goundarenko (LLPW, 18 July 1995)
Akira Maeda vs. Aleksandr Karelin (RINGS, 21 February 1999)
