12/31 DYNAMITE! - CroCop Confirms his opponent! **UPDATED**
Thursday, 18 December 2008
**UPDATE** This is also confirmed by FEG today.
**UPDATE 2** FEG has confirmed that "Kid" Yamamoto will NOT fight this NYE. They also confirmed that Yukio Sakaguchi will fight! Sakaguchi went into the Pancrase rankings earlier this year after a huge KO win over Yuichi Ikari. He is also brother of famous actor Kenji Sakaguchi and son of famous pro-wrestler Seiji Sakaguchi.
There has been alot of speculation around who Crocop would be fighting on NYE. He has now conformed on his blog that he is fighting Hong Man Choi.
I'm excited to let you know that I have accepted DREAM's offer to fight against Hong-man Choi on December 31 at Dynamite show. We arranged all details and the contract has been signed - the fight is officialy on.
The fight will be contested under MMA Rules, and I am looking forward to it. Both fighters will be very eager to get back on the winning track.
