MMA Rules Fights
Alistair Overeem (31-11-0) vs Kazuyuki Fujita (15-8-0)
No chance. Fujita will be a punching bag for Overeem.
Minowaman (43-30-8) vs Sokoudjou (7-5-0)
DREAM Super Hulk Grand Prix 2009 Final
I’m going to be shocked if Sokoudjou loses this one. Minowaman has literally built his reputation on taking on bigger fighters, but who has he beaten really?
Gary Goodridge vs Gegard Mousasi
No chance, for Goodridge here. If the fight stands which is where Goodridge will have his best chance of winning, Mousasi will pick him apart.
Melvin Manhoef vs Kazuo Misaki
I think this fight could end up with Misaki winning. Manhoef is susceptible due to his overcommitment to “hay maker.”
Tatsuya Kawajiri (25-5-2) vs Kazunori Yokota (11-2-3)
Kawajiri here seems like where I lean.
Shinya Aoki (22-4-0) vs Mizuto Hirota (12-3-1)
Aoki.
Hidehiko Yoshida (8-7-1) vs Satoshi Ishii (0-0-0)
Two Olympic gold medal judokas with Yoshida having significant mma DREAM experience.
Norifumi “KID” Yamamoto (17-2-0) vs Masanori Kanehara (15-7-5)
Kanehara is walking into trouble in this fight. Kanehara won a close match against Omigawa, while Yamamoto is coming off an upset loss to Joe Warren, which I called.
Hayato “Mach” Sakurai (35-9-2) vs Akihiro Gono (30-15-7)
Great fight here. One I am most excited about.
Katsuyori Shibata (4-6-1) vs Hiroshi Izumi (0-1-0)
Avoid.
Hiroyuki Takaya (12-7-1) vs Michihiro Omigawa (8-8-1)
Avoid.
Hideo Tokoro (25-21-1) vs Marlon Sandro (15-1-0)
Tokoro has been in some battles and the guy never loses his lungs. He will need it against the hard hitting Sandro. Sandro.
K-1 Rules Fights
Masato vs Andy Souwer
Andy Souwer has beaten Masato before. I really like Souwer’s fighting style.
I like Souwer to win.
Yosuke Nishijima vs Ray Sefo
Sefo.
Hiroya vs Masaaki Noiri
Avoid.
Shota Shimada vs Katsuki Ishida
Avoid.
Ryuya Kusakabe vs Tsukasa Fuji
