Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2017 Could have kept this in the other MMA thread but New Years Eve Japanse MMA deserves it's own thread as it's such a tradition in MMA. I'll try keeping this thing updated as i read stuff and lead into the shows. Somehow i missed last years shows but im determined to go old school and view these ones! Shows air over here via the Fite TV app too, though it may cost you a few quid. There are 2 shows like last year, one on the 29th and then one the 31st. Two tournaments will be held over the course of the two shows, an 8 man Bantamweight GP and a 4 female Atom Weight GP, expect a bunch of weird and wonderful matches mixed in amongst them. I'll try getting some bio's and stuff in for the competitors and other guys on the card to help drum up some interest (this being as much for me as anyone), anyways... December 29th: Main Card Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Gabriel Oliveira (BWGP quarter-final) Manel Kape vs. Ian McCall (BWGP quarter-final) Shintaro Ishiwatari vs. Kevin Petshi (BWGP quarter-final) Takafumi Otsuka vs. Khalid Taha (BWGP quarter-final) Gabi Garcia vs. Shinobu Kandori Preliminary Card Karl Albrektsson vs. Jiri Prochazka Cindy Dandois vs. Reina Miura Hiroyuki Takaya vs. Baataryn Azjavkhaln Anthony Birchak vs. Jae Hoon Moon (BWGP reserve bout) Kai Asakura vs. Kizaemon Saiga Shizuka Sugiyama vs. Kana Watanabe Satoru Kitaoka vs. Kiichi Kunimoto December 31st: Main Card TBA vs. TBA (BWGP Final) TBA vs. TBA (WSAGP Final) Mirko Cro Cop vs. Tsuyoshi Kohsaka Shinju Nozawa-Auclair vs. Chelsea LaGrasse Preliminary Card Takanori Gomi vs. Yusuke Yachi Kanna Asakura vs. Maria Oliveira (Women's Super Atomweight GP semi-final) Irene Cabello vs. Rena Kubota (Women's Super Atomweight GP semi-final) TBA vs. TBA (BWGP semi-final) TBA vs. TBA (DWGP semi-final) Been announced that Mirko Crocop will be fighting at some point too, which is nice.

Rey_Piste Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Watching that fight against Frye again, I'm shocked Takayama wasn't crippled from the shoulders up. He looks like a Japanese Rocky Dennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
