Four more bouts were made official by FEG for the upcoming Dec. 31 FieLDS Dynamite!! 2010 event in Japan.
Added to the show is a DREAM heavyweight match between K-1 legend Jerome Le Banner vs. Judo Gold medalist Satoshi Ishii, a DREAM heavyweight match between Sergey Kharitonov vs. Tatsuya Mizuno, a DREAM heavyweight match between Alistair Overeem vs. TBA, and a IGF Special Rules match between Shinichi Suzukawa vs. Bob Sapp.
Both the Le Banner vs. Ishii and Kharitonov vs. Mizuno bouts have already been leaked earlier but the announcement of Alistair Overeem and the special rules match between Suzukawa vs. Sapp are new.
Overeem (33-11) is fresh off his K-1 World Grand Prix Tournament win this Month and will fight under mma rules for only the second time this year. He defended his Strikeforce title to Brett Rogers in May, earning a first round TKO victory. There are some rumors that former UFC heavyweight Todd Duffee could be his opponent for the show.
Shinichi is a former professional sumo wrestler who was thrown out of the sport in 2009 after being arrested for cannabis possession. His special rules bout with Sapp is likely a professional wrestling match. Sapp has plenty of experience fighting in Japan as a professional wrestler, and often fights as a mixed martial artist or K-1 kickboxer.
The event features a mix of mixed martial arts, kick-boxing bouts, and professional wrestling matches which will take place on Dec. 31st at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
An announcement from officials at K-1 announced this morning via Twitter that all fighters were on weight for Friday’s Dynamite!! 2010 event, no weigh-in results were posted.
