I'm only interested in watching Taiei Kin vs Zelg Galesic and Yoshihiro Akiyama vs Dennis Kang. Those see me to be very interesting matches. And maybe Marcelo Garcia, who happens to be a great Ju-jutsuka.

The other Seido Karate guy is unknown to me. What's his record?

Taiei Kins TKO loss was really a doctor stoppage, due to a badly cut eyebrow, other than that Kin was not in any trouble. Simply bad luck.
I have not seen Tokoka´s fight, but I understand the ref stopped it.

[Sonik]

Yoshihiro Hakiyama did a good fight. I think Kang got abit dizzy because of that nose cut which can cause some vision problems. Hakiyama saw the opportunity and took it.


Now i hope to see:


Yoshihiro Hakiyama vs Hidehiko Yoshida

Melvin Manhoef vs Zelg Galesic

Taiei Kin vs Dennis Kang

Jerome Lebanner vs Maiti Mou

He is a former judo (kodokan) champion gone over to MMA.

He had a bad rep for cheating in judo after he was caught putting soap on his Gi -making it go slippery when in contact with the opponents sweaty hands, at judo championship.
Last time he fought in k-1 MMA, the fight was declared No-contest after he was found to have liberally coated himself with skin-lotion, making it impossible for Sakaruba to get a grip on him.
