Hey drew do you think that peter has good shot against moise? is moise any good?

[Dynamite Drew]

peter has a very good shot against moise

from what i have seen of moise , his chin is very suspect

[Hironaka]

Sengoku bores me, hopefully Gomi makes the jump to Dream ... if it survives.

More Roger Gracie is a good thing though.

[Dynamite Drew]

its not boring hironaka , you only like big name fighters and showcase events

sure , its not a showcase event , but show some respect

not all fighters get to fight on showcase events and the promotors are putting on some good fights

First of all, don't tell me what i like and what I don't. I only like showcase events? I guess that's why I haven't purchased a UFC PPV for about six months and spend about $100 per month importing lesser known events from Japan and Europe. I have watched more Shooto, ZST and GCM events that you could ever read about in your constant google searching of fighters.

You are a moron, seriously.

There is two good fights on the show: Hirota/Schultz and Mits/Damm, the rest of this card and every Sengoku show would put a child with ADD to sleep.

Now **** off.

[rushshah]

This card is ok i'm mainly watching it to see how peter graham goes in his second mma fight.

Although i am a liitle disappointed that gomi isn't matched up against his first rumored opponent IFL star chris hordeski ;)

[Hironaka]

Horodecki is fighting Dan Lauzon on the next Affliction show. Gomi/Horodecki definitely would have had me pumped for this.

[rushshah]

Ok cool , i recently just saw danny on a tapout show he looked good but hordecki should smoke him.

[Dynamite Drew]

blah blah blah , what ever hironaka

i have watched many many more fight shows than you have and have been to many, not just in australia but in thailand and japan

i have been watching fighting sports long before you were an itch in ya daddy's pants



anyway , about the shows ....

the lightweight series has potential to be entertaining

the middle series could be interesting when the rest of the fighters are named

also good to see peter graham get a start

[Hironaka]

Who are you choosing to take out the lightweight series DD?

[Dynamite Drew]

im picking Eiji Mitsuoka

what about you hironaka ?

[Hironaka]

Peter Graham submitted in the second.

I can't see Mits winning this GP, if he gets past Schultz, I like Hirota.

[Dynamite Drew]

some results

Kazuo Takahashi vs. Valentijn Overeem
Overeem won by KO due to a flying knee at 2:42 of the first round

Peter Graham vs. Moise Rimbon
Rimbon won by submission due to a rear naked choke at 0:43 of the second round

Pawel Nastula vs. Yang Dong Yi
Yi won by TKO at 2:15 in the second round. Nastula was hit in the groin twice in the first round but decided to continue. The fight was stopped due to Nastula not responding to the referees orders in the second round, reportedly due to being in pain from the hits.

Mizuto Hirota vs. Ryan Schultz
Hirota won by KO in the second round.
