Kazuo Misaki vs Kazuhiro Nakamura is a sweet fight. I really dont know who to call in this one. I like both fighters. I am also exited to see the debut of Satoshi Ishii. Sandro vs Omigawa is going to be spectacural aswell.

This featherweight tourny has been really entertaining, I can’t wait for the finals. I hope King Mo is on this card.

Chan Sung Jung vs Matt Jaggers is the reserve bout. Also, King Mo will be fighting for M-1 on the 28th, don’t think he’ll be fighting on this card.

Ishii isnt on this card is he?

Hatsu is very impressive, he’s young and hungry. He won’t just submit you. He’ll triangle you, then beat you in the face until you tap. Not a conventional Japanese fighter, he has great american wrestling. American wrestling is the best base art for any MMA artist.
