12/10 DEEP 39 - Changes (Injury and Addition) **Updated**
Sunday 30 November 2008
Update/correction: I had missed a couple of fights on the card, they are updated now, and the full card that is announced so far is available at the bottom.
The DEEP Impact 39 card has suffered a loss, Jutaro Nakao had to pull out due to injury. Taking his place is Korean Jang Yong Kim, that's right, the guy that upset "K-Taro" in Cage Force earlier this month. That means that Katsunori Kikuno goes from facing one of the most experienced fighters in the game, to facing a new talent. Will be interesting to see if Kim can follow up his win in Cage Force.
Also added to the card is Fanjin Son. Son lost his last fight in the Cage Force tournament to "Wicky" Akiyo, he is a Shooto veteran that has had his last 3 fights in Cage Force. Now he is makeing a move to DEEP. He will be taking on another Korean, Chang Son Jon.
That means that all the 3 additions to this DEEP card will be making their DEEP debuts.

Jang Yong Kim 2-2-0 vs. 8-1-1 Katsunori Kikuno

thanks to the DEEP blog i'm pretty sure that jon chang song who is fighting fanjin son is the guy who beat michihiro omigawa in DEEP Gladiator. i guess that was his first and only pro fight, and i don't know what his background is but he was brawling pretty well and throwing some nice knees. his takedown defense wasn't great but he knew what he was doing on the ground.
anyway, thanks for all the info from the blog.

I think you're right. I just got confused since it says it will be his DEEP debut...
But then we agree, that's the guy. :)
Shoji Maruyama Great that guy is awsome he is going to knock out Takafumi BET
otsuka is no joke too, shoji/otsuka is going to be a crazy fight.
and i didn't realize nakanishi/shirai was on this event too, that should be an awesome fight.
and isn't daisuke nakamura vs. koichiro matsumoto on this event too as part of the lw tournament?
Hi GoFork,
The Nakamura vs. Matsumoto fight will be held at a later date, thats just from memory though).
I have checked, and cant find that its announced...
damn, for real? that was the fight i was looking forward to the most (i'm picking matsumoto as the dark horse). oh well, still an awesome card and i can't wait.
thanks for the update and everything you're doing here.
