8/30 DEEP Osaka Impact - RESULTS

DEEP Osaka Impact was earlier today, the main event saw the very experienced DREAM, WEC and Pride veteran, Yoshiro Maeda take on the very talented Kleber Koike. The fight ended early when Maeda caught a kick to the family jewels and was unable to continue. Koike was disqualified.

Korean "RYO" has now gone 4 straight fights without a loss and should be happy with the way 2009 has gone so far. A deceisive win for the fighter that normally goes the distance.

"Goodman" Tanaka was had just a second left of the round when he got caught in an arm-bar.

11/8 Cage Force Eastern Bound EX - "K-Taro"'s Opponent Announced

GCM have announced 2 more fights for their event on November 8. Well, they have 2 events that day, kicking off with the debut of Valkyrie followed by Eastern Bound EX late in the afternoon.

The fights announced today are for the Eastern Bound card. And "K-Taro" now has an opponent. You should never underestimate a fighter, but I would be surprised if "K-Taro" lost to Jang Yong Kim…

Also added is an interesting fight between the Cage Force talent Daisuke Hoshino and Naoto Miyazaki. Miyazaki has not had much luck so far in his Cage Force career, his loss was a disqualification though, so he will be trying to get his first win this time.

I think that would complete the card for this event.

Added today:
Keita Nakamura "K-Taro" 15-3-2 vs. 1-2-0 Jang Yong Kim
Daisuke Hoshino 4-0-0 vs. 0-1-1 Naoto Miyazaki

The card:
Hidetaka Monma 13-8-4 vs. Andore Mafetoni (??)
Yasuhiro Urushitani 14-4-6 vs. 0-0-1 Kiyotaka Shimizu
Kenji Osawa 13-8-2 vs. 9-4-5 Tomoya Miyashita
Yukiya Naito 13-4-2 vs. 1-0-0 Alex Silva
Rikuhei Fuji 3-2-0 vs. 6-5-4 Takenori Sato
Keitaro Maeda 2-3-1 vs. 14-4-3 Hiroki "Goodman" Tanaka
Keita Nakamura "K-Taro" 15-3-2 vs. 1-2-0 Jang Yong Kim
Daisuke Hoshino 4-0-0 vs. 0-1-1 Naoto Miyazaki

11/8 Cage Force - EX Eastern Bound - "K-Taro", Monma and Urusitani Fighting!

Ok, I have had a rather boring week... But suddenly everything is happening at once. Cage Force has announced the card for the "other" event on November 8. This event will follow the Valkyrie event that is happening earlier in the afternoon. This is a "EX Eastern Bound" event, that means cheaper tickets but these events have provided some good fights in the past. This card looks very good though.

Participating is DREAM fighter and UFC veteran, Nakamura "K-Taro", Hidetaka Monma, Yasuhiro Urushitani and Kenji Osawa. Taken off the card is the Bantamweight semi-final between Takeya Mizugaki and Taiyo Nakahara. Nakahara is still injured and Mizugaki will advance to the final and meet Masahiro Oishi


I don't expect many more fights on this card (2, maybe 3), but it looks very good already.

Hidetaka Monma 13-8-4 vs. Andore Mafetoni (??)
Yasuhiro Urushitani 14-4-6 vs. 0-0-1 Kiyotaka Shimizu
Kenji Osawa 13-8-2 vs. 9-4-5 Tomoya Miyashita
