12/31 Fields Dynamite! - Tickets Selling Fast

FEG have announced that the VIP seats for this year's Dynamite event are sold out! These tickets cost JPY 100,000, and this should mean an important income for FEG. Of course, it also means that the Masato fight is selling very well because there is not much else official yet.

Will be interesting to see if Sengoku can sell their VIP tickets. I would assume the Ishii debut will attract some Judo fans to that event.

11/7 Sengoku 11 - Results LIVE

The results I can, will be live. But I think I will miss most of this awesome event today.

I will update live as long as I can. If you want the live results, you can try the discussion thread, otherwise I will updata as soon as I have the chance.

Opening Fight:
1. Bantam: Ryota Uozomi Def. Yuichiro Yajima by armbar Round 2

Main-Card:
2. Feather: Ronnie Ushiwaka Def. Shigeki Osawa by Decision 3-0
Ushikawa shows his experience here. Osawa shows he is a good wrestler, but it was not enough on this occation. Competitive fight and Osawa shows he has a lot of potential.

3. Heavy: Dave Herman Def. "Big" Jim York by KO round 1
"Big" Jim York is controlling the fight standing, then he goes for a achilles hold and Herman gets an opening for heel kicks. "Big" Jim is out.

4. Feather: Marlon Sandro Def. Yuji Hoshino by KO round 1
A big right from the Pancrase champion sends the Cage Force fighter to the ground.

5. Welter: Akihiro Gono Def. Yoon Young Kim by Decision 3-0
After 2 close rounds Gono gets his confidence back in the 3rd. Gono did what he wanted in the 3rd. except finish the fight. Kim showed a lot of heart by staying in the fight.

Gono says he wants a re-match with Hornbuckle, after he gets the title! Gono wants Hornbuckle to be the belt, and be the first to challenge for that!

6. Light-Heavy: Stanislav Nedkov Def. Kevin Randleman by Decision 2-1
A very close fight.

I have to leave now, the rest of the results will be delayed... Sorry about the inconvenience!

7. Light: Kazunori Yokota Def. Eiji Mitsuoka by Decision 3-0

Fight Of The Soul (Intermission, I will guess it is here):
Feather: Tomoaki Ueyama Def. Hirokazu "Bull" Konno by rear-naked choke Round 1

8. Light: Jorge Masvidal Def.Satoru Kitaoka by KO Round 2

Double Main-Event:
9. Middle: Mamed Khalidov Def. Jorge Santiago by KO/TKO hammerfists from the bottom!!

10. Feather: Michihiro Omigawa Def. Hatsu Hioki by Decision 2-1
Good finish to the fight! Hioki looked in control, but Omigawa came strong and never stopped going forward.

For the second time I think the judges give it to Omigawa in a fight I thought he.

12/31 Fields Dynamite! - First Fights Announced

Masato was going to face the K-1 World Max Tournament champion in his last fight on NYE. But it was suspected and today it is official, Giorgio Petrosyan's right hand is broken and he will not be able to take the fight.

Masato will fight another opponent. BTW, if you were planning to sit in the special VIP Masato cheering section, it is already sold out. At JPY100,000 a ticket, thats a healthy income for FEG. Unless of course they gave them out free, it is not unusual to give out these free to people at his gym etc.

That means that the first fights made public for this year's Dynamite! event are the K-1 Koshien semi-finals.

Announced:
Masato vs. TBA

K-1 Koshien (Highschool) Tournament Finals:
Final: Winner of SF 1 vs. Winner of SF 2
SF 2:Hiroya vs. Masaaki Noiri
SF 1: Katsuki Ishida vs. Shota Shimada
