Well it is

Japanese fans deserve it. Just wish they didn't get shafted on start time.

i want to see EVERY ONE of those fights... good for Japan, hope they enjoy it!

yeah thats a good card hope I can get it

Very deep card.

I get why Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt is on the main card, but it isn't near as deserving as Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami &Hatsu Hioki and Bart Palaszewski. Maybe even Takanori Gomi vs. George Sotiropoulos too.

I agree, tho it will be fireworks unless Kongo comes in tryin' to wrassle hump Hunt to death

Agree with the Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami fight that should be a balls to the wall fight! Two of my favorites....

the only thing missing from this card is Aoki he should be fighting in the ufc already

Yakuza

I wish Gomi vs Aussie George was on the main card.

They just need to fix the time, it's a major dick move by the UFC. Atleast the card is stacked.

Totally agree

Aoki would already be fighting in the States if he didn't mean his family would be kidnapped and held for ransom

Never heard Aoki complain about pay issues. I bet they make it worth his while over there. They may not pay everyone, but they pay that man.

I don't think Bobbit is saying Aoki isn't getting paid, I think he means that FEG(I think they still own it right? or partners now) knows that Aoki is their only star and they'll do anything to make sure he stays.

Yeah I know, I was making a separate point. Saying they probably make it worth it($) to stay in Japan.

It's alright, I ain't getting crazy excited about it.

Maybe you should re-evaluate the card.

It's got a couple nice fights but it's not OMGWTFBBQ quality.

Couple nice fights? By couple do you mean about 10? Damn man, what kind of super standards are you holding it to?

If it's only got a couple of good fights then what are the fights that are not good?

Oh, well I agree then

I'm surprised Cantwell hasn't been cut yet. I hope he gets his shit together and wins this one.
