Kiyoshi Tamura. At least that's what a guy who lives in Japan who posts on Sherdog is saying, so who knows, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Here's how I see the brackets now.
Sak vs Tamura
Yoshida vs Overeem
Rampage vs Wanderlei
Liddell vs Arona

I knew it. Tamura was leading the polls in Japan, he was even in front of Sakuraba.

I wanted to see Kondo or Ryan there, Tamura is going to be a stepping stone for whoever he faces.

I would like to see...

Saku Vs. Yoshida
Arona Vs. Tamura
Rampage Vs. Silva
Liddell Vs. Overeem

That's exactly how I'd like to see it too Kaps, or switch Rampage and Liddell. I would almost guarantee that all the Japanese will be on one side of the bracke so they have a good shot to get one into the finals.

I just hope Silva comes back in good shape after his lay off.

I'd want:

Sakuraba vs Tamura-sak should win, and they have a grudge.
Arona vs Yoshida-I only want one Arona fight, Yoshida might outgrapple him.
Liddell vs Overeem-good strikers, Overeem might give him lots of trouble though.
Rampage vs Silva-I want this to happen

Rampage or Liddell against Silva would be nice......

if rampage fights wanderlei in round 1, will the winner have enough left to win the gp?

First round is one fight, then about three months later they continue in another event with two fights in a night.

this man has caught the correct!


Also do not doubt Tamura.

Tamura is quite the fighter.


I watched him and TK fight in rings and i was very impressed.

Rampage and Overeem are fighting against each other in the first round.

Rampage and Silva are going to be in different brackets.

This information is correct.

they want Rampage and silva in the finals.


that is gonna be the hottest fight in a LONG time.

I think it really sucks taht Rampage has to win the GP to get the title shot. He should have it already.
