I doubt it even though this card is sick! BloodyElbow is though. Can’t wait for Sandro-Omigawa.

this card is really good. Sengoku and Strikeforce have the best non-UFC fights in mma.

Eh, this is the the first Sengoku card I’ve really anticipated. Outside the UFC, its the WEC then Strikeforce, then Dream and Sengoku, and at the very bottom of the list (even below Extreme Challenge) is M-1.

Would love to see the Akihiro and Fujita fights!

Fujita is fighting Ivanov. The man that beat Fedor in Sambo.

I think Sengoku means “no one cares” in English.
Who’s watching Affliction tonight?

If you can find one person that cares your statement is fallacious. A couple people have posted they care, therefore you are wrong.

Well since you are a “no one”, really a nobody, you must care an awful lot about this card.

that was pretty lame. Do you write material for Glenn Beck?

I thought it was pretty funny Bill Maher. Have a sense of humor.

Maher has no sense of humor. The only thing funny about his show are the horrible ratings.

Damn right I don’t have a sense of humor. Haven’t you seen my show?
