DREAM 17 Fight For Japan

Gegard Mousasi vs Hiroshi Izumi

I have to go with Mousasi here. However, I’m expecting the odds to be out of hand. Japanese light heavy and heavyweights tend to be on the smaller side as well as on the poorer side of skill to their foreign counterparts. This probably due to lack of training partners of equal size. This is a showcase fight.

Hiroyuki Takaya vs Kazuyuki Miyata

Takaya

Masakazu Imanari vs Hideo Tokoro

Imanari

Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Drew Fickett

I’ve got Fickett on the comeback.

Marius Zaromskis vs Eiji Ishikawa

Sakurai is out, late replacement Ishikawa – I’ve got Zaromskis.

Keisuke Fujiwara vs Kenji Osawa

Should be awesome match. Osawa.

Trevor Prangley vs Tatsuya Mizuno

Prangley has more ways to win and likely won’t be beaten down. Odds favor Prangley.

Todd Duffee vs Nick Gaston

Duffee is bigger. I like Gaston – Afrozilla, but Duffee is much taller and will have reach. Cardio will come into play probably.
