Jason "Mayhem" Miller and Kazushi Sakuraba
Shinya Aoki vs. Marcus Aurelio
"Lion" Takeshi Inoue vs. Kazuyuki Miyata
Hideo Tokoro vs. Joachim Hansen
Tatsuya Mizuno vs. Gegard Mousasi (for vacant light heavyweight title)

Pretty nice card shaping up here

Yeah not to bad at all. I really want to see Mousasi again.

man that card is real sweet. Big names from top to bottom.

What does the asterisk next to Joe Warren indicate?

The card looks great. Hopefully Hansen can get back on the winning track.

It means the fight is technically not confirmed yet. MMAjunkie has that next to like every fight on UFC cards up until the last week

Maximus has gotten so much life out of his Pride career...

anybody taking Kazushi

Not me.

No, and Mayhem shouldn't have even taken this fight. Dumb.

y not wolf?

Sakuraba just lost to some Gracie I've never heard of. He doesn't have shit for Mayhem

i agree bobbit no way am i taking Kazushi but cnat blame mayhem for fighting him

I guess I can't blame him either but how would we react if he took a bout with Carlos Newton or Ken Shamrock? Saku gets extra mileage because of the beloved factor.

ehh i dont really have a probelm with a guy staying busy and trying to get a win over a legend

agreeing with wolf. At this stage, this is a total mismatch fight. But I'd say Sakuraba, and Dream are the dumb one's, Mayhem should just be embarrassed.

hopefully they have payed Mayhem

I don't blame him for going out and getting a paycheck. Its not like Strikeforce has any fucking clue what they're doing when it comes to the MW division

agree boob

I think Miller is probably honored to be fighting Saku.

Yeah, Marcus' career has fallen off ever since his Pride days. I'm not sure why he struggled so much in the Octagon.

Omigawa/Warren should be sweet. Can't wait to see that fight.

Aurelio might be out cause he's signed to Shine Fights lightweight grand prix.

Sucks cause I wanted to see him fight Aoki, but good for Jap mma cause I'm pretty sure Aurelio would have fucked Aoki up

As far as Miller, his best payday was taken when Diaz signed to fight KJ, so he's got to do what he's got to do. Saku's legend status in Japan explains this being his next best option. I just want to see Miller vs Jacare
