Tokyo Sabres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tokyo Sabres are an International Fight League team based in Tokyo, Japan (but train in California). The Sabres are coached by bodybuilder Ken Yasuda. Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki use to be a mentor to the Sabres but after their horrible 0-5 lost to the Los Angeles Anacondas Inoki broke all ties with the IFL.
