Ok well I watched this event last night and well It was pretty good…
Nam Phan looked horrible he came in way over confident and well got his asss whooped for it..
Hioki is a bad little dude, I was impressed by his fight
The Travis Wiuff fight was well horrible just horrible and again Travis was a let down
Sandro was spot on he came in handled business and walked out he is looking good
Omygawawwawa is now 5~5 yay but I really think the Korean Zombie won that fight, but I also think that it could have been a SD, but hey to think that a Korean is going to get a decision victory over a Japanese fighter in Japan might be asking a lil too much, it was a good fight
Maximo’s “soccer kick” was brutal, dropped the kid with a right then he stepped back and BOOM straight to da face = DQ
Yokota v Santos was a really good fight and well it was fun to watch those guys go at it….
Takimoto v Costa was a good bout but Costa almost lost his leg it was a nasty sub thrown on him
WVR again had a great event fun toooo watch, gets me preped for DREAM.9
I saw a few moments of the first bout ….. my son kept me busy earlier that day so I was too tired for the whole card . HDNET is good at rerunning the shows so it will be on again by tomorrow night . WVR has been a good show the last few so I’ll take your word FR702 ,we agree on most shows in the past anyways . DREAM 9 is the big show coming up for me ….it is a great card in the PRIDE flavor for sure . They might not be doing well in Japan but I think it goes over here fairly well . They should try a 5 fight card specifically for the American prime time audience . Showcase a few known names , maybe a K-1 fight, and have a crowd draw like KIMBO vs SAPP half way through . Might give them a bit more mainstream exposure .
Travis losing after taking no less than 5 knees to the junk had to be a huge letdown for him. The rest of the fights were pretty good IMO.
