8/16 DEEP: Gladiators - Card Final

Saeki has announced the final card for the August 16 event in Okayama. As usual (I am starting to think there are a bit too many for these) there is a Japan vs. Korea thing happening.

The main event is a fight I cant wait to see! Don Frye vs. Minowaman should be very entertaining! If you also include Gary Goodridge and Tom Erikson to that list, this is looking very interesting.

8/16 DEEP: Gladiators - Fights Added

The Gladiator card has also had some fights added. Also, there is one change to the previously announced fights, Hwang Sung Pang is no longer on the card. Hwang Sung Pang is now rumored to be Takanori Gomi's opponent in Sengoku 3, a match-up I think will be very exciting.

I am confused by one of the fights announced, will try to get some clearification around the 2nd fight in the Japan vs. Korea competition.

Added:
K-1 Rule: Jan "the Giant" Nortje vs. Tom Erikson
K-1 Rule: Tsuyoshi Yokoyama vs. Marcelo Nascimento
