6/27 Cage Force - RESULTS

Cage Force held their event in Differ Ariake earlier today. The main event was the matchup between the veterans Kuniyoshi Hironaka and Katsuhiko Nagata. Also on the card was the UFC veteran "K-Taro".

The main card kicked of with a fighter that is very entertaining, "Randleman" Ichikawa always comes out hard, and he did so again! The two first fightes were of the very short kind.

The favorites delivered in this action packed event!

6/27 Cage Force - Fight Order

GCM have finalized their card for this Saturday. The card is a little thinner than what I would normaly expect from a Cage Force event, but keeping in mind their financial problems last year, they are probably doing the right thing. Still a very good card, the quality is there and it should be a good event for the fans that make their way out.

The main-event will be a very interesting fight, UFC veteran Hironaka is taking on Olympic medalist Nagata.

There is also another UFC veteran on the card, K-Taro will be trying to get back on the winning track after his upset loss in November.

6/27 Cage Force - Fights Added

Cage Force have announced another very good addition to the June 27 card in Differ Ariake. UFC veteran Kuniyoshi Hironaka will take on DREAM veteran Katsuhiko Nagata. Nagata has not had much luck lately, he has gone 4 fights without a win and will be desperate for a win here. The former Olympian needs this win, and I have a feeling that the winner of this fight might very well be on a DREAM or Sengoku card in the near future.

Also added earlier this week was 2 preliminary fights.

Light: Kuniyoshi Hironaka 13-6-0 vs. 4-5-1 Katsuhiko Nagata

7/21 GCM Demolition - RESULTS

GCM changed their July 21 event from an Eastern Bound event to a Demolition event. No doubt due to the financial problems they are having. Still, with 9 fights on the card, it should have been an entertaining event and the ticket prices were resonable as well.

Wataru Miki Def. Tetsuo Uehata by TKO Round 2:28
Taisuke Okuno Def. Masayoshi Ichikawa by KO Round 1 0:26
