Is that the full fight card??

ther's rumors that saku might be on it..

Yeah, Saku vs. TBA....

heard it was confirmed saku vs minowa..

Looks ok, I'm looking forward to the Hendo/Busta rematch and the Wandy/Arona rematch. Hunt vs Cro cop should be good too. Not crazy about the other matches though

Think i was wrong, I'm hearing saku/tamura now..

It should be a fun card, fedor, shogun, wanderlei, saku and mirko.. those are some pretty big names, with pretty hefty pay checks.

Gomi-Sakurai should also be an interesting fight. Lets see if the drop of eight is worth it. I thought James Thompson is also on the card?

I hope this turns out a lot better than UFC 56.

.feel the fury

This going to be better than every UFC combined..

Yoshida is gonna be on the card as well, not sure who he's fighting..

He is listed above, fighting ogawa.

This show is definetly built more for the Japanese fan base. Sakuraba/Tamura will be fun because those two have some seriously legitimate hate for each other stemming back to their pro wrestling days in the mid 90's. Yoshida/Ogawa will be ok too. I cant believe that fight has cost almost 5 million dollars to produce. And Zulzilhino..... May your fat ass RIP because the cyborg Fedor is gonna kill ya.

Don't be so sure. Remember that the guy has a 41-0 with 41 KO record...<_< >_>

.feel the fury

This is gonna be a great card..

Will it be live in NA or tape delay??

Delay. If it where live it would come on at 12:30am PST....

Didn't they have an event that was a live fead from Japan???

Or was it a same day tape delay??
