10/23 DEEP 38 - Fight Order Announced

DEEP has announced the fight order for DEEP 38 today. This will be a very good event, with some good talents and some very experienced veterans.

Seryu is a new face for most, I would think. He is a Mongolian sumo wrestler, and is said to be very good at that. I really dont know what to expect...

DEEP have put up a picture from the press conferance earlier:


I also remeber reading that he is friends with Asashoryu (one of 2 Yokozuna's in Sumo)

Also on the card, Norwegian Simeon Thoresen is putting his undefeated status on the line, and I am picking him to get a submission win, but Ishikawa is very hard to put away and very good at avoiding submissions. It might go to the 2nd round.

Other than that, this card features: Riki Fukuda, Katsuyori Shibata, Ryuta Sakurai and Jason Jones (called Mini-Manhoef in Japanese media). This is going to be a very good event!
