During today's K-1 GP in Korea, the cameras showed Denis Kang in the audience. Does this mean that he will fight in the HERO's event 10/28?? This is very likely, we just have to wait and see if this is confirmed and who will be the opposition?
Read more...This is the Deep title fight where Hisae Watanabe won her title in 2006 (Deep 25).
Watanabe lost her title to MIKU in Deep 31, Satoko Shinashi is part of the Deep 32 card where she will meet the relatively unknown Sachi.
Posting this video to show that female MMA can be entertaining and in Japan we have a few very good fighters.
Hong Man Choi beat Mighty Mo by decision.
1 judge scores it a draw, 2 for Hong Man Choi.
3rd round is Choi trying to keep Mighty Mo at a distance with kick. He is successful with a few exceptions, where Might Mo shows his punching power. The fight goes to decision.
2nd round starts with punches from Mighty Mo. Choi answers with kicks and one hits illegally and there is a short break. The round finishes with Choi attempting leg kicks that look more like low blows.
1st round over. The fighters are showing that they respect eachother and no real danger for any fighter in the 1st round. Very close.
Hong Man Choi has learned from their earlier fight and is careful to keep it left guard up.
The main event is about to start.
Peter Aerts beat Ray Sefo by TKO. Towel thrown between round 1 and 2 after Aerts hurt Sefo with leg kicks at the end of round 1.
The fighters feel eachother out before Aerts goes to work with leg kicks. Sefo looks hurt. Sefo takes a count, but is able to continue.
Two of the most experienced fighters in K-1 make their way to the ring.
Junichi Sawayashiki beat Junichi Sawayashiki, the ref stopped the fight half way through the 3rd round. After a couple of well placed punches and knees to the body the ref rightly stops the fight.
Fujimoto down agian, 2 times. Looks tired.
2nd round
Fujimoto has to take a count after a knee to the body. Both fighters bloody now.
The crowd goes crazy when the cameras show Denis Kang. Will he fight in HEROs Korea next month?
Fujimoto takes another count after a high kick.
1st round finished.
Junichi Sawayashiki catches a few punches and has a bloody nose, but is allowed to continue. Sawayashiki catches another uppercut and we have a 2nd doctor check. The fight continues.
Jerome Le Banner beat Yong Soo Park by KO after about 40 seconds. The Korean Tae Kwon Do champion showed some kicks, but was over powered and got KO`ed by aquick right.
Glaube Feitosa beat Chalid "Die Faust" by decision.
"Die Faust" caught another knee in the 3rd round but finished better than Feitosa, who got a bit tired. A very good fight. Feitosa gets the decision.
2nd round is much closer, but "Die Faust" is the shortest man in the tournament and exposed to knees.
"Die Faust" went down from a knee, but is back up. He also had to take count after a punch, but made it to the second round. Despite taking 2 counts, he looks ok and fought hard at the end of round 1.
Remy Bonjasky VS Stefan"Blitz" Leko by TKO, knee again. Blitz took a count and looked ready to continue, a bad ref decision in my mind... Only 17 seconds left of round one. Up until the knee both fighters had thrown lots of punches and kicks. A very good fight that the ref stopped too early.
Semmy Schilt beat Paul Slowinski by TKO knee in the face in the 2:10 into the first round
Badr Hari beat Doug Viney by KO. Hits him with a right in the 2nd round. Very impressive victory.
It is reported that Pride/UFC has hired Saitama Super Areana for Dec. 31. This has of course traditionally been the main event of the year for Pride. Now it is rumored to return (http://blog.bodymaker.jp/user/takasu/002/8139.html).
This might still be only a rumor, and I remember something similar in May/June, when Pride/UFC was rumored to have rented the same areana for an event in August. Yoshida Hidehiko will hold center stage, the post does not actually say who is holding the event.
However, Sherdog reports today that UFC is close to getting a TV deal in Japan with the WOW network (http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles.asp?n_id=9252). This seems like too much of a coincidence... With a deal like that, they will likely start holding events in Japan and the best way to kick that off would be with a big New Year Eve event. But, as I have said, this is not the first time I have heard similar rumors. Lets hope there is something to it!
DEEP 32 on Oct 9 will feature the title fight between these two fighters, Dong Hyun Kim won this non-title fight and Hasegawa will have to find an answer to his attack.
No doubt this will be war!
Ok, just had to post this... 3 of my favorite fighters in the same ring. Joachim Hansen Vs. Rumina Sato from 2003. This is from a Shooto event in Korakuen Hall.
In Joachim`s corner is Jon Olav Einemo (the big guy).
Enjoy!
Tomorrow we have K-1 Korea. This is an event were FEG has pulled out many of their biggest stars in every meaning of the word.
The main event sees Hong Man Choi up against Mighty Mo. For me the most exciting fight of the night will be Badr Hari against Doug Viney. Doug Viney was the surprise winner of the last K-1 GP in Las Vegas. Tomorrow he will be up against Badr Hari, this should be a very good fight.

Yusuke Fujimoto VS Junichi Sawayashiki
Jerome Le Banner VS Yong Soo Park
Glaube Feitosa VS Chalid "Die Faust"
Remy Bonjasky VS Stefan"Blitz" Leko
