ELP Catches Master Wato Out Of The Sky

El Phantasmo was able to start off his tournament with a win, but Master Wato is looking to ensure he doesn’t start a win streak. Wato didn’t use his very effective Vendaval submission against TJP, but was able to force a submission win on yesterday’s undercard.
