Well, I have to admit, DREAM has been putting on some very solid shows and stole my attention away from Sengoku for a bit. Actually, it seems like Sengoku don't get a hell of a lot of attention at all, not even amongst the hardcores. This will probably change when it rolls closer to Ishii-Yoshida, but in the meantime, we have a pretty quietly sickass card lined up in a little over a week.

I quite like Sandro vs Hoshino. Hoshino is the Cage Force FW champ, Sandro you know from the FWGP. Hoshino was actually supposed to be in the FWGP, but took time off MMA to get married. Santiago-Khalidov is another one that should be sick, will definitely be looking forward to seeing what Khalidov can do against a proven guy like Santiago. And, as you will have probably guessed from my previous posts, I am very excited by the prospect of Masvidal-Kitaoka.

I will also be rooting for Mitsuoka to run over Yokota all the way to the top!! <.<


Some part of me is strangely looking forward to seeing Randleman-Nedkov.


Now, I love Randleman. But I have no idea why I am looking forward to seeing him fight off against the testicle-pulverising Nedkov. Maybe I haven't seen a good train wreck in a while. <.<
