9/27 Cage Force 8 - Fight Order

This weekend will be super busy! Kicking things off on Saturday is Cage Force with their tournament semi-finals. These fight should provide some very good entertainment.

The main event is Yuji Hoshino vs. Dream "veteran" Takeshi Yamazaki. In the other featherweight semi final the always entertaining "Wicky" Akiyo will take on Fanjin Son who is a very talented fighter.

In the Bantamweight tournament the very experienced Masahiro Oishi will take on the exentric grappler Tetsu Suzuki in a fight that should also be very exciting. Oishi got through a tough opponent in Paul McVeigh in the first round, while Suzuki left Katsuya Toida with egg on his face after a 16 second TKO win.

Also on the card are fighters like Takeya Mizugaki, Yoshihiro Koyama and Wataru Miki. A very good card again from Cage Force!

Cage Force have added 5 fights to their September 27 card. These are in addition to the previously announced semi-finals.

The Bantamweight semi-final between Takeya Mizugaki and Taiyo Nakahara has been moved to the November 8 "Eastern Bound" event. Nakahara was injured during training, but should be ready for the event in November. Mizugaki will instead face Daisuke Endo in a non-tournament fight.

As always, I expect Cage Force to put on a good show, and the tournament fights are looking very interesting.
