Sengoku WVR: Soul Of Fight Dec 30th

Jayo_M

A big show that seems to be overshadowed by UFC 125 and Dynamite, Soul Of Fight is taking place tomorrow. The card is absolutely massive and is a day-long event, so I don't think it's being aired live but it will be shown sometime in January at the very least.

There's not many big name draws (at least from this part of the world), but Marlon Sandro, Khalidov, Fujii and Chonan are the ones that stand out to me on the MMA side of things (Dan Hornbuckle had to pull out against Chonan, would have been a fun fight).

There's also a run of Dream Vs Sengoku fights which could be interesting. The biggest name on the card is on the kickboxing side of things - Buakaw. He's taking on Nakajima. Always fun to watch Buakaw.

Anybody know what the story is with the broadcast in Japan? They're usually not too great with streams anyway, so we'll probably have to wait til HDNet shows it before we get to see it.

I'm looking forward to seeing Chonan, I always enjoy his fights.

Unfortuntaley though I don't recognise a lot of the names, and one that I do, 'Kiss', I vowed never to watch again after I saw his 'fight' with Kazuhiro Nakamura back in Pride

If anyone thinks Fuji or Rin Nakai have a chance of losing.. :rolleyes:
Never heard of Rin's opponent before, saw it was an openweight. Know what size she is?

Lighter than Rin anyway. She's got a record of something like 5-20

I read that Rin's opponent fought in a weightclass below her but she weighed in a few pounds heavier
