WTF!! Some great matchups and some wild too…
The return of Kid…finally.
JZ vs Kawajiri is great.
Interested in Jacare vs Miller 2.
Sokoudjou taking on a huge HW in Nortje??
Mousasi jumping to LHW but taking on Hunt??
Minowa vs Sapp…typical.
And Canseco vs Choi…W T F !!! Canseco will get smacked…

Is Nortje the same guy who KO'd Bob Sapp in that Strikeforce bout? I'd rather see Soku fight Mousasi. Choi will destroy Jose. I'm pumped about the main events though. strange card..
Please tell me this isnt the Jose Canseco Im thinking of...Please tell me its somebody else.
This has got to make the list of all-time freakiest japanese freakshows.
Jacare!!! I hope he fights in the UFC one day.
Dream Event Producer Keiichi Sasahara said, “We decided to hold this tournament because we wanted to be recognized in many people. I'm well aware that core MMA fans will criticize us for holding this, yet we have to do this to grab non-MMA fans attention and survive. Since we reduce the ticket price, I hope the tickets are sold out, and we get the decent viewer's rate.”
It is what it is. I'm sure I'll be plenty entertained by it.
Do you think Soku can take down that giant? Nortje sucks but hes a big mother er.
f jacare....i hope mayhem beats him down.
SUPPOSEDLY Soku has awesome Judo skills but he rarely uses them in a fight.
Effing Team Quest.........
The Canseco thing isn't signed according to Canseco's manager...

Japan never seems to be able to finalize a card until a couple days before the event..
The Japanese are awesomely weird...
from here:
http://nightmareofbattle.wordpress.c...e-ninth-dream/
and Canseco has a gameplan surprisingly...
“I don’t even know whether my punches can reach Choi’s head or not. While having a tight defense and using my footwork well to move around, I will take him down and end it on the ground with a submission.”
Easier said that done...Fedor had a hard time taking him down. I doubt if Canseco has the skills to pull an armbar like Fedor did...
Im pretty excited to see this. Soku needs to rack up about 4 or 5 straight wins to gain some cred.
Mayhem vs Jacare about to start
